“ejected Hightower loyalists”

Hightower was one piece of work. He even had a radio syndication before air america that would rival the best put out by Pravda. I recall one of his loyal listeners, of which there were perhaps 20, calling in and telling him to go for the limosine solution which was if you see a limo, pull the guy out and shoot him. That was in line with this clowns politics, to the left of Lenin.

I don't think Hightower ever got over losing to Perry.

Are you talking about Jim Hightower? John Hightower was the Senator from Texas with the "deep roots," so to speak.

My mistake: I was thinking of Senator John Tower.
