So my story about Strom Thurmond begins, its late july, 1992, and im on a flight from washington, d. C. To charlotte, North Carolina. I had been an intern that summer up on capitol hill, and one of my regrets of the summer was that id never seen Strom Thurmond. Because all my fellow interns said youve got to see Strom Thurmond.

Yosemite is look, he tried, but it does highlight that we know that the president and his campaign have tried to point out that they suggest that joe biden maybe has lost a few miles on his fastball, that he did point out a gaffe here, a blunder there, a misstatement there. Moments like yesterday go to show you, thats sort of a risky strategy for this particular president , whose at times, relationship with pronunciation is, shall we say, shaky. Youre being very generous there. That was at the billsigning for the Great American outdoors act, a great bipartisan piece of legislation.
