Strom Thurmond & the Clintons

[Scott_J]

Strom Thurmond was dying. He sent a message to Bill and Hillary Clinton to come to his room at the hospital in Edgefield. When they arrived, they were ushered up to his bedroom. As they entered the room, Strom held out his hands and motioned for them to sit on each side of the bed. Strom grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the ceiling.

For a time, no one said anything. Both Bill and Hillary were touched and flattered that the old man would ask them to be with him during his final moment. They were also puzzled because Strom had never given any indication that he particularly liked either one of them. They also wondered why there were no cameras to capture such a wonderful photo opportunity.

Finally, Bill bit his lower lip, arched his eyebrows, and said, "Strom old buddy, why did you ask the two of us to come?"

With a twinkle in his eye, Strom mustered up some strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died between two thieves, and that's how I want to go too..."
