Senator Patti Murray is also MY senator. As Don said, her comments followed shortly after Senator Trent Lott stepped in deep doo doo! I predicted that the Republicans would be looking for ANY distraction they could find. I found it very interesting that the High School class she spoke to, rose to her defence, saying that she gave a reasoned and thought provoking talk. Hmmm? Reasoned and thoughtful! Hopefully that will be a new concept that might catch on! Here's to the lady in tennis shoes! CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson
