I admit I paid no attention to loudmouth Dem Charles B. Rangel rapping my father’s home state of Mississippi. Rangel’s just a New York yankee, so what the hell would he know? But the Dem’s slur on the Magnolia state brought out some poetry in a political rival, Mississippi Rep Charles W. Pickering.
“From the coast to the Delta to the Pine Belt to the hills and across Mississippi,” he said, “there is beauty in every city, charity in every heart, love in every church, and majesty in every countryside.”
Couldn’t have said it better.
