I promise never to refer to the distinguished gentleman as Senator Dasshole, but I can't recall seeing it spelled any other way, so I'm not sure how else to spell it!

Has it occurred to you that perhaps the first FReeper to post that spelling just found it easier to spell? Hehehe....and then perhaps others followed suit for the same reason and the name stuck just because it worked with his "anal" personality? All attempts at humor aside I believe the correct spelling would be Daschle.
