Default Bush Serves in Alabama

http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0406/mondo1.php

"When it came to political trickery, Bush Junior got in on the ground
floor, receiving tutelage from the masters of the art, which reached its
zenith in the person of Lee A****er. As campaign coordinator, Bush
Junior talked to the outlying county offices and doled out campaign
materials, including smears against John Sparkman, the sitting
Democratic senator, claiming that Sparkman was soft on race. The Blount
people, according to Wilson, disseminated a doctored radio tape claiming
that Sparkman wanted to send black and white kids around town so as to
"mix" the schools. Blount billboards across the state proclaimed: "A
vote for Red Blount is a vote against forced busing . . . against
coddling criminals . . . against welfare freeloaders."
