Armstrong Williams: "When does conception begin?"
I was having dinner with friends last night and someone mentioned Armstrong Williams, media whore extraordinaire.
T told us that he had gone to see Jim DeMint and Inez Tenenbaum debate at Coastal Carolina University during the Senatorial campaign. Armstrong Williams was one of the "journalists" asking questions.
Williams asked Ms. Tenenbaum, "So, Ms. Tenenbaum, when do you think conception begins?"
Ms. Tenenbaum replied, "I'm not sure I understand the question."

Backstage, Thurmond leaned over and said, "You know, I have deep roots in the black community ... deep roots." His voice softened into a raspy whisper, "You've heard the rumors."
"Are they just rumors, senator?" I asked.
"I've had a fulfilling life," cackled Thurmond, winking.
