The headline from Reuters reads, "Sen. Strom Thurmond 'OK' After Collapse." Apparently he collapsed on the Senate floor this morning. After receiving emergency medical treatment he was up and about and talking. An aid for Senator Trent Lott said that "He was okay."
The report ends with this surrealistically understated remark: "There was no immediate word what caused Thurmond to collapse." No word, huh? No one can figure it out. How about the fact that the man is 98 years old! He shouldn't be in charge of his own bath water let alone be a member of both the Senate Armed Services and Judiciary Committees.
It's really hard to believe that 5 years ago (Thurmond's last re-election) the voters of the good state of South Carolina came to the consensus that a 93 year old racist, homophobic nincompoop was the best choice for Senator. A write-in vote for Huckleberry Hound makes as much sense!
