The ghost of Senator Joe McCarthy still roams the halls of the capitol dragging the chains of the Red Menace as an eternal punishment, and every once in a while, some politician (distracted by their own stupidity) stumbles over the chains, bumps his head, and thinks he sees those 'Commie Red Pinkos' from the 50's and 60's again.
If the congressman lived in the 21st century, he would probably realize that it would be hard to find 80 Communist Party members in the Kremlin in todays world.
