For those of you who are too lazy to do a Wikipedia search, John Glenn (aka Magnet Ass) is an old dude who flew in some space missions which then qualified him for pooblik office as a Democratic Senator from Ohio. Glenn seems like one of those guys who could never quite get to the level of notoriety as those who were close to him like Carter (questionable) or The Kennedy Brothers. Case in point: Glenn never got his brains blown out. His televised face punch is only a bruise on the chin of history.

Glenn being the tough sommamabitch he is held his jaw while Breen was dragged away to jail. Breen later revealed that punching Glenn was a way to get Dan Quayle's attention about a Government conspiracy to supress information regarding a giant California earthquake. He was only 8 days too late:

If I remember correctly, Glenn grabbed him before the secret service did. A roundhouse kick would have been cooler, but still not bad for an old guy.
