To celebrate July 4th, I won't say anything nasty about the late Senator Jesse Helms: I'll have Howard Stern do it for me. This clip from 1994 concerns Jesse Helms' comments that "President
Clinton is not my commander-in-chief." Helms went on to say that if Clinton visited North Carolina, he'd better bring bodyguards. In the midst of this controversy, Helms was being considered for Chairmen of the Committee on Foreign Relations, a job Helms was eventually awarded, despite his comments.
One ironic remark is made in this clip. At one point, Stern suggested giving the Chairmanship to Larry Harmon instead of Helms.
Larry Harmon, much-loved creator of Bozo the Clown, died yesterday at age 83. At least will he will be sorely missed.

What a tool Helms was. And here is Stern talking about something besides silicone breasts or the buffet table at Scores. Ah, the 90s.
