Thurmond begins 100th year with salute to women
The South Carolina Senator says he feels fine.
By Laurie Kellman The Associated Press December 6, 2001
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Strom Thurmond began his 100th year flirting with his female colleagues Wednesday.
"I love all of you men, but you women even more!" he declared by way of a thank-you, after Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., offered congratulations from the well of the chamber.
Those present erupted in laughter as Thurmond's wife, Nancy, grinned from the gallery. The two have been separated for a decade but have remained on friendly terms.
"I appreciate every one of you, especially you ladies," he added. "You are good-looking, God bless you."
