A Republican with the gall to run for re-election, he’s chairing the Senatorial Judiciary hearing for the Outrageous ACB and this is his closing. May God help us all.
I’m going to tell you about where I grew up.
I don’t know why –
it just seems to be a good way to end this thing.
It’s got nothing to do with anything.
But I grew up in a small town called Central, South Carolina.
First in my family to go to college.
My dad owned a bar, a pool room, and a liquor store.
And my mom ran the bar, my dad ran the liquor store,
and, when I was old enough, I ran the pool room.
This is why I think I’m a good senator – it’s good training for this job.
But I remember – speaking about country music,
we had a piccolo.
You know what a piccolo is, Judge?
Well, you are too young.
A piccolo is something you put money in to listen to the song.
And the one song I’ll remember to my dying day was –
talk about country-music titles –
“My Wife Ran Off with My Best Friend, and I Miss Him.”
So this is a wonderful country.
