The Amazing Name.

Thank the heavens for satellite TV programming. Last night, while enjoying Game 2 of the World Series, the local station ran a ... GASP! ... political ad. I think this is the first one in this whole melee that I have actually enjoyed. I didn't hear a word of its content, because I was so awestruck by the magnificence of the candidate's name, however. Brothers and sisters, I give you:

Saxby Chambliss

I can only hope that he is an astounding and wondrous person, worthy of this fabulous moniker. I can't stop saying it: Saxby Chambliss. Saxby Chambliss. I mean, he could've been Saxby Smith or Harold Chambliss, but NO. His parents had to get greedy and bestow TWO names with pizzazz. I'm dying to know what his middle name is.

Dude, his given first name is Clarence. I would choose the middle moniker if I were to go into politics as well. It sounds like a vaguely conservative southern cocktail, something made with rye and simple syrup.
