Ta Ta Jesse Helms

[Alex]

I don't know. Seems like a silly battle to end your career on.

I'd be perfectly happy to see Helms unacknowledged, but it is a pretty standard fact of life that things like this are going to happen. It isn't like he was told he needed to personally lower the flag and then stand under it telling everybody how sad he was at Helm's passing.

It is cool that if he feels it that important he was willing to make the sacrifice. It just seems a bit foolish to me that he'd consider it that important.
