12. It also reminded me of Jesse Helms on Larry King one time.
Helms took some calls and a guy got on and said something like, "I'd like to personally thank you for everything you've done to keep the N-word's down." Helms pretended to be shocked, and went on to say how he would have had his mouth washed out with soap for speaking like that when he was a kid.
Bullshit! That guy was right on the mark. Helms knew what his job was and who his supporters were. Most of them listening knew he had to give his little disclaimer.
