So did Strom Thurmond. One of the funniest political memories I have was watching a Strom Thurmond stump speech in 1996.

Now, mind you that at the time the man had served over 40 years in the Senate already.

He said, "I believe in smaller government... and term limits."

And as if that weren't enough, without a touch of irony he continued, "And you're gonna vote for me, because I can bring more money to South Carolina in the next six years.. than my opponent could in 60!"

I pledge that I have very little in common with Strom Thurmond. I suspect we all support term limits at some outer bounds, adn the only question is of degree or length.

See, Strom Thurmond really shouldn't have served through January 2003...
