Strom go down the hole
Jun. 27th, 2003 06:21 amWell, yeah, if you think I'm not going to mourn Les Maddox, I'm sure as hell not going to mourn this hatemongering prick.
That said, I'm not doing a tap-dance over his death, either.
Why?
Because the asshole lived to be over 100. He foisted his unique brand of hatred and ignorance on the world for over a hundred years. Imagine if the end of Burton's Batman movie featured The Joker getting away. And Batman turning to Commissioner Gordon and saying, "It's okay. In fifty years or so, he'll be dead of old age." Yeah. That would've been real satisfying, right?
Thurmond made Nicholson's Joker look like a fine, upstanding citizen. Hell, The Joker was more grounded and sane.
So yeah, of course I'm glad that the son of a bitch is dead. And I wish I believed in Hell, just so could be assured that the scumsucker was getting his just desserts. But as it stands, he had his chance to fuck the world and the US up the ass for years, and pretty much got away with it cleanly. The man deserved to die a protracted, painful death fifty years ago.
Now, what are the odds that Jesse Helms will kill himself now that his soulmate is gone?
rollick's post over here is the funniest one I've read on the subject of Strom, by the way.
