Thank God he's out of the Senate. Hollings is an embarrassment and a cad. My son lives in SC, and no one likes Hollings -- he was elected by fancy pants Carolinians from the east side of the state.

She was provost from 1993-99. Prior to that, though, she taught political science at Stanford from 1981-93, not Russian. However, in Hollings' defense, she did teach courses on Russian politics, I believe.

***I can't believe the old f*** actually admitted this!***

Maybe Fritz is worried about how he'll spend eternity.

Here's my take..Hollings retired because

1. It was problematic, at best, that he could win the race

2. Even if he managed to win, all he'd get is another 6 years in the minority, and the "opportunity" to be involved in a number of very contentious judical confirmations.

3. Nelson is smarter than Hollings

My son lives in SC, and no one likes Hollings . . .

Evidently some people liked Hollings. The results from 1998:

Hollings - 53% (553,362 votes) vs. Bob Inglis - 46% (483,322 votes)

I've heard that Bill Nelson is going to be the leading contender for the head of NASA job. We may be filling that one with an appointment from Governor Jeb Bush much sooner than 2006.

That makes a lot of sense..and great strategery. Put Lieberman in DHE, and Harry Reid is ready for a rubber room...

The people who need to be shocked are black people. They have been used and re-sued - again and again and again. Hopefully, some more of them will start to get it.

Hollings morphed himself as a conservative as he neared his election cycles to gain re-election. As weak a candidate as Tenenbaum was this past year, she even made it a tight race against DeMint. Hollings had incumbency, the lemmings of the black population, and tons of government workers who were reliant on his pork pulling. That kind of combination is tough to beat in any state, but especially in SC with the large black vote.

All this is no news. The Democ Rats have been doing this sort of stuff for forty years - plus. They tell minorities that they want to help them and they tell blue colar whites that they will protect their jobs and neighborhoods from (said very quietly) "those moving in".

Because I'm white I got a little different information from the local Democ Rat operative who ran my neighborhood then some of my non-white neighbors. My neighbors seemed to put up with it because they attributed it to the age of the political worker. After all he was only doing the political stuff to keep his job with the city. Plus the guy was pretty suttle.

I think Hollings has lost control of his mouth and is just saying what he always wanted to say. Good - maybe someone should take Tom Dass hole out for a few drinks and find out what he has to say!
