...after their amendment was defeated in a close vote. They used the announcement by Campbell -- a 61-year-old who sports a ponytail and rides a motorcycle -- to celebrate GOP diversity. Senate Majority Whip Trent Lott (R-Miss.) pointed out that his great-grandmother was a Chickasaw Indian. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) wore a beaded Navajo tie.

Perhaps ex-President Bush's "thousand points of light" have come to refer to the remaining true Democrats amidst the all-encompassing night of Republicanism -- tiny candle-flames providing only a little illumination in the face of so much darkness...
