Time to update the Body Count?
"Mr. Bumpers was part of a generation of moderate Southern Democrats, among them President Jimmy Carter"
These guys can't make up their minds.
One of Bubba’s big enablers bought the farm.
But he is remembered more for what he did in the twilight of his career.
Protecting a lying, drug-addled rapist.
No comment.
The hell it wasn't!
Wrong Arkansas Liberal!
The New York Times could not report on today’s weather without throwing in some bias.
NYT needs an editor:
“Mr. Bumpers was part of a generation of moderate Southern Democrats, among them President Jimmy Carter”
should read:
“Mr. Bumpers was part of a generation of leftist Southern Democrats, among them President Jimmy Carter”
Let’s look at this one:
“he guided his native Charleston, Ark., to become the first community of the former Confederacy to integrate its public schools.”
Per ‘Great Schools’ Charleston Ark. High School is 95% White, 3% Hispanic, 1% two or more races, and 0% Black. I expect when he did his accomplishment, there weren’t that many Hispanics. http://www.greatschools.org/arkansas/charleston/268-Charleston-High-School/
If the rest of the “former Confederacy” had been 0% Black, integration would not have been a big deal anywhere.
Typical Democrat Politician.
May he roast.
When my daughter graduated from the U of Arkansas, he was a guest speaker. When he walked up the isle I was tempted to put my leg out and trip him and watch him fall on his face.
Then he gave his speech. This was not long after the Columbine shootings and he gave one of the most Down speeches I ever heard.
One of the students graduating with my daughter said, about Bumpers’ speech. “Well I guess we all should just go out and kill ourselves!”
He never lost an election: that’s not true of David Pryor, Mr. Bill, Winthrop Rockefeller, Orval Eugene Faubus, J. William Fulbright, Frank D. White, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Huckabee, and so many others. His hatred of Jesse Helms is what I remember most about Mr. “Dandy Dale”.
Another pro-abortion politician enters Hell.
I would never have sent it to him because he was so liberal, but I always thought it would be clever if he put out stickers for his supporters’ cars saying, “I’M STUCK ON BUMPERS”.
Good riddance.
Then it was many decades past his due to die.
