http://www.charlotte.com/540/story/716157.html

Sure, Helms may have soften up a bit at the end of his career but this is a guy who had this to say about AIDs:

“There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy.”

So I'm wondering, what other bills can old Libby Dole name for Jesse Helms - like perhaps the Jesse Helms Civil Rights Bill or the Jesse Helms Heathcare Bill.

Post your suggestions here

and try not to drown in the irony please!

16. And the Tom Lehrer song could be a true theme song:
Oh the white folks hate the black folks
And the black folks hate the white folks
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule...

Oh the poor folks hate the rich folks
And the rich folks hate the poor folks
All of my folks hate all of your folks
It's American as apple pie!..

It's (brotherhood) only for a week so have no fear-
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!

12. The Helms BADASS Act of 2008
The
Bigoted
Arrogant
Decaying
Asshole
Slimeball
Slug
Act of 2008:

Designed to protect older, out of touch Republicans serving in Congress when they really have NO IDEA of what's going on in the real world. It allows Republican Senators and Representatives to rewrite the Constitution at will, giving themselves more power than their Democratic Party peers. :eyes:

17. If she played in the NFL we'd call her a Professional Seatwarmer
kinda like the husband of that repuke dingbat on 'The View'. He's always warming the seat of a new team each season, unlike his brother Matt Hasslebeck who has some talent.
