This time he made things tougher for himself by calling Democratic Senator Abe Ribicoff a "creep" for his Democratic convention attack on Chicago police enforcement. Irwin lost to Republican State Representative Lowell P. Weicker Jr., 37, a lawyer who managed to unify the district's liberal and conservative Republicans...
