(Three Strom Thurmond sidenotes. 1) His eldest child was born out of wedlock to a black woman who worked for his family. The woman was 16 at the time. 2) He served in the Senate until he was 100 years old. 3) He was a notorious and well-known creep and groper, and once groped Senator Patty Murray on an elevator, not realizing she was a freshman Senator.)
