The jerk from Montana
<snip>
A member of the Daily Press Editorial Board contacted Burns' Washington office to check the story and to see if the senator had any more to say on the subject.

The young man (very young, we surmise) who answered the phone responded with language that would make a sailor, maybe even Burns himself, blush. Imagine a "South Park" tirade in full force, laced with assorted colorful obscenities, and you get the idea.

"And you can tell Sen. George Allen of Virginia to ," said Burns' spokesman.

It took close to 10 minutes to finally convince the gentleman in Burns' office that, no, the caller was not his chum in Allen's office, but in fact a representative of a Virginia newspaper.
