06/30/2003 Entry: "goodbye strom"

GOODBYE STROM: If you are looking for a remembrance the late Sen. Thurmond's colorful side, conspicuously missing from my piece eulogizing him, look no further than ESR senior writer Jackson Murphy. In addition to recounting the Sue Logue story, he writes: "On a day when the US Supreme Court ruled that sodomy is a-okay with them, it isn't surprising that conservative Strom Thurmond (1902-2003) decided to check out of this world. As Homer Simpson would say, 'the ironing is delicious.'" Read more about Strom and Dennis Thatcher.

There's also no beating Florence King's 1999 review of Ol' Strom, now running in The American Prowler. Simply King at her best - and she ain't bad even when she's at her worst.
