Wonderful

I wanted to write something about Jesse Helms dying yesterday, but I don't think I could say anything better than it is said here.

A couple of excerpts for the too-lazy-to-click:

He was a hero to bigots and the cigarette corporations, a menace to the poor and downtrodden, and a mean little troll whose heart was so wrecked by wickedness that doctors had to patch it up with coronary valves from a pig.

and...

He was mean, cheap, petty and unloved. He was the ugliest kind of bigot and a stain on America. Anybody who says different is a liar.

Whelp, that sums it up for me.
