LOTT: I want to say this about my state. When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either.

What a stiff, pole-up-the-hole jackass. But I knew that fron the first time I saw him in one of those weird white collared blue dress shirts (standard Republican issue).

And of course, spin is vital, especially from friendly, "fair and balanced" peeps. Nothing a nice softball interview can't solve.

Jackasses. Both of 'em can kiss my big fat liberal-leaning ass.
