From a Washington Times piece on Jesse Helms:
He tells the story of when the newly inaugurated President Clinton clasped his hand, looked him in the eyes and said: “Senator, I’m so happy to meet you, because we have so much in common.”
Mr. Helms recalls his reply: “Mr. President, you must be mistaking me for another senator. My name is Helms. H-E-L-M-S.”
