So who’s gonna miss this hateful, ignorant son of a bitch and his perpetually constipated visage when he leaves the Senate? Not me. Maybe in a few years I’ll at least get over that twinge of dread and embarrassment I feel when I tell people that I’m from North Carolina…
All my life, I heard the mantra repeated over and over again: “you may not agree with Jesse Helms, but you always know where he stands”. Well, yeah. Big deal. There was never much question where Hitler stood either. And it’s amazing how often he and Jesse could be found standing in just about the same exact place. I like to think that when they die, they’ll continue to be in pretty close proximity too…
