Strom Thurmond dead at 100
Details:
http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/...bit/index.html I never thought I'd say this about a fellow human being, but good riddance, finally, to some very bad rubbish. That fundamentalist racist bastard was around way too long. Of course now, we'll probably find him replaced with someone twice as evangelical. |

Man, I'm biting my tongue so hard I think I'm bleeding. But the man just died, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

From a friend on IRC:
Rumour has it that he once said that South Carolina sodomy laws would fall "over his dead body".

To commemorate the passing of this tireless defender of civil liberties, let us recall with reverence and awe the event that precipitated his change of heart.

Won't it be fun watching all the white hoods come out of the woodwork for the funeral? Let's all wax poetic about the "good old days" of segregation, shall we? I have to admit, I spent many an hour watching the man chair a Senate hearing on C-SPAN and wishing he'd keel over dead right there on live TV.

Since a near identical thread to this one is over in Politics (and it fits better there anyway), I'm closing this one. Feel free to join in the mourning over there...
