"smear on the image" of good old Strom.
"Jackie Calmes points to the biography of Mr. Wilson in CQ�s �Politics in America,� which includes this line: �Wilson�s sharp and careless remarks sometimes land him in hot water.� One example listed was Mr. Wilson�s constant criticisms of Senator John Kerry during the Democrat�s presidential campaign, and even includes a reference to Mr. Wilson�s characterization of the news that Strom Thurmond had fathered a daughter with a black woman. Even after the longtime Republican senator�s family acknowledged the paternity, Mr. Wilson called the notion a �smear on the image� of Mr. Thurmond.
Mr. Wilson, 62, whose district runs from the coastal border of Georgia into central South Carolina, from Hilton Head to Columbia, was first elected to the House in 2001. "
