Thurmond begins 100th year with salute to women

The South Carolina Senator says he feels fine.

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."
