Strom Thurmond did right by his daughter. Principle trumped sedution for that “old racist.”.

My post wasn’t a slam at Thurmond. It was a reply to a suggestion that X wouldn’t have had an interracial extramarital affair due to his principles.
I always liked that interview, and loved Essie Mae. Old Blather was trying his best to get her to say something negative about Thurman, and she wasn't having any. I was proud of her.
I got the impression that at a couple of points she wanted to grab him and slap him upside the head.
