So, when Trent Lott says campaign finance reform is as serious a problem to most Americans as static cling, please report the truth alongside his remarks. Here is my second request. It has to do with the way you cover politicians. Let me tell you a little story. When John Kennedy asked Jacque to marry him and she accepted, at least one of Jacque's old friends took her aside and told her that John was a bit of a womanizer.
Men are like that.
If she said that, of course she did so in a much sweeter and wealthier voice than mine. The reason I bring this up is that some of you are too young to have heard that story and it might be news to you that, indeed, men are like that. They are, you know. In my day, people did the same things in private that they do today. But a gentleman did not tell, and a lady did not tell, and the rest of us did not ask.
