"Laura and I are deeply saddened by the passing of our good friend and a great American: Senator Jesse Helms. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Dot, and all the members of the Helms family.
Throughout his long public career, Senator Jesse Helms was a tireless advocate for the people of North Carolina, a stalwart defender of limited government and free enterprise, a fearless defender of a culture of life, and an unwavering champion of those struggling for liberty. Under his leadership, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was a powerful force for freedom. And today, from Central America to Central Europe and beyond, people remember: in the dark days when the forces of tyranny seemed on the rise, Jesse Helms took their side."
The Decider's "good friend" Jesse Helms single-handedly filibustered the passage of a MLK Jr. holiday. I bet Marion is especially sad today.
Helms also made sure whistled Dixie when he passed by colleague and black woman Carol Moselely-Braun when they passed each other in the Senate Chambers.
Stay classy Republicans.
Republicans all the way from the bigshots like the Decider and McSame all the way down to the foot soldiers like the National Review are honoring the little bigot.
Why would anyone listen to Maureen Dowd? She has issues you know. And the first is that foreigners can't donate to campaigns, so she is full of it.
