From the Cracker Squire Archives on "Bring it on Sam Nunn, bring it on." -- Part II (Dick Yarbrough)

And from the right:

In a 12-14-04 post I quoted from a column Dick Yarbrough had written in June 2004 entitled "A salute to some live Democrats."

He began his column by noting that "[a] member of the Loyal Opposition -- meaning those who don't agree with anything I say, which includes about half of the inhabited Earth -- confided to a friend that 'the only Democrats Dick Yarbrough likes are dead Democrats.' Not true. There are a lot of live Democrats I like."

On the topic at hand, Mr. Yarbrough writes:

Sam Nunn is my favorite Democrat of all time. He is smart as a whip and was a pleasure to work with. We have had some great senators from Georgia, but none better than Sam Nunn.
