STRONG THURMOND and THE FILIBUSTER by Bob Flynn



The frail and elderly Senator Strom Thurmond once took to the skies above Capitol Hill as Strong Thurmond, defender of the Southern delegation! Tourists would cry, "What's that up in the sky? A turd? A stain?" just before he smacked head-on into the Washington Monument. Strong Thurmond often joined forces with The Filibuster, known for his uncanny ability to speak at great length. When armed with a phonebook, no legislation could stand in their way (including the Civil Rights Act of 1957—ouch!). They hold the record for a full 24 hours and 18 minutes!



Bob Flynn's website is great!

  1. What a team up, Bob! Do the red and blue colors on Filibuster symbolize his ability to work with either party?

  3. Strong Thurmond is just a great idea for a superhero!
