Former Sen. Howell Heflin of Alabama, R.I.P.

Rush Limbaugh writes:

Howell Heflin, senator from Alabama passed away. He was a good guy, on some occasions. He made some wrong choices on others, Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas, but big old bear of a man, big, big old guy, and I have a story about Howell Heflin that's a true, true story. I've told this countless times. I used to warm up the audience at the TV show with this story but it's true.
