	Jim Sasser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sasser emphasized Brock's connections to former President Richard M. Nixon and his use of income tax code provisions that had, despite his great wealth and considerable income, resulted in his paying less than $2,000 in income tax the previous year.
		Sasser went on to serve as ambassador to China during the period of alleged nuclear spying and the 1996 U.S. campaign finance scandal that involved possible efforts by China to influence domestic U.S. politics during the Clinton Administration.
		Sasser again gained media attention when the U.S. Embassy in Beijing was besieged after U.S. warplanes mistakenly bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during the U.S. intervention in the Kosovo War.

	Surgical precision: how Senate power Jim Sasser was stomped by a political novice in Tennessee Campaigns & ...
		Twenty years later it was the backdrop for another rude awakening: the destruction of the old politics of chit-collecting at the hands of the new wave twin terrors of mega-monied media campaigns and popular revulsion for the political elite.
		Sasser grew up in the cotton country of rural West Tennessee, the son of a USDA agent who combed the backroads, teaching ill-educated farmers agricultural techniques that might deliver them from an impoverished existence.
		Sasser seemed to be emulating his erstwhile employer and mentor, Sen. Albert Gore, St. A New Deal liberal in the House, Gore had gone on to the Senate in the 1950s, where he supported civil rights legislation and opposed the Vietnam War, much to tile chagrin of his constituency.

	TeamGOP Blog: Jim Bryson can become Tennessee's next Governor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Sasser’s managerial style was overwhelmingly rejected by Tennesseans and Bredesen’s has been judged to be both lacking in skills and often graded as poor.
		Jim Sasser was tied to an unpopular national democratic ticket, if anything, Bryson will be the one hindered by his national party.
		My ultimate point being, a comparison to Jim Sasser, a Senator running for re-election to a national office during the biggest party shift in decades...is not comparable to a Governor running for re-election to state office, when the RNC is at its lowest levels since before the '94 elections.

		Sasser's appointment was criticized because he was a China novice.
		Sasser said his high point as ambassador was standing outside the Great Hall of the People last year with Presidents Clinton and Jiang Zemin, watching the American flag flapping in the summer breeze during the June summit.
		Sasser criticized Washington's handling of the initial bombing apology, which Clinton made in answer to a reporter's question while touring a disaster area.

		JAMES SASSER: Well Jim, I think that's what diplomacy is all about, trying to work out some sort of compromise, some kind of solution, that both sides can live with.
		They told the leadership that it was the fault of the American aircraft, just as I think Chinese intelligence told the leadership when we bombed their embassy in Belgrade that we did it on purpose; it was preplanned, and that we were totally responsible for it.

		Sasser, he scoffed to a reporter, might be "a nice guy, but I'm not sure he knows a chopstick from a tuning fork."
		The turnaround in Sasser's fortunes reflected the efforts made by both the United States and China to put their relations back on track, following the disruptions caused by Washington's decision to grant a visa to the president of Taiwan and Beijing's detention of a Chinese-American human rights activist, Harry Wu.
		Sasser praised China for a series of recent steps, including the release of Harry Wu in August and the suspension of a contract with Iran for the supply of nuclear reactors.

		Jerry's departure had put her on a collision course with Jim Sasser, who once told her to her face: "You're about the sassiest nigger woman ever on this place." Powerfully built, "a tall, rawboned man, who scared a lot of people," according to one person, Sasser ran his farm with a mailed fist.
		When Sasser sought to bring the sheriff into the matter, to compel Jerry back into the marriage and onto the plantation, she refused to go along.
		Sasser struck back after one of Jerry's brothers offered to bring in the crops for her.

	1995 Pulitzer Prizes-BEAT REPORTING, Works
		The fate of Sen. Jim Sasser, regarded as the favorite in the contest to become the Democrats' new leader in the Senate if he can survive a tough challenge Tuesday, will help determine the party's public face in Washington.
		Sasser's prospects, meanwhile, have brightened in his expensive contest against Bill Frist, a heart-transplant surgeon who has pumped millions of his own dollars into the race.
		The other day, three-term senator Sasser even risked putting the advantages of incumbency on display, a rare event in this year of fierce anti-incumbent sentiment, when he told workers at a Textron aviation-wing assembly plant of his efforts in the capital to keep alive the new V-22 helicopter.

		In 1994, he was the not particularly impressive challenger to Senator Jim Sasser.
		I don’t know if The Plank’s source was on the Hill back then, but if he (or she) was, I bet the source was fully expecting (like everyone else) that Sasser would be the new Senate Majority Leader once the formality of a November re-election was completed.
		Sasser’s summer polling was just one prominent example.

		Jim, of course, went on to be ambassador to the People's Republic of China.
		In the '60s, later, as Jim was speaking about the Vietnam War as being tremendously divisive, the crisis was one of spirit, between all kinds, between the university-educated and the non, between the better-off and the not-so-better-off, between fl and white.
		But as you move beyond phase one of the war, which was the fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan, the objectives and the implementation of the war on terrorism becomes a little more less clear, murkier, and you begin to see some problems in the conduct of the war on terrorism.

		As Senator Sasser noted in his introductory remarks, this award is intended to recognize contributions to American well being in the arena of foreign relations and in furtherance of U.S. national interests abroad.

	GregsOpinion.com: Thoughts on Overreaching
		While I've been transplanting lungs and hearts to heal Tennesseeans, Jim Sasser has been transplanting Tennesseeans' wallets to Washington, home of Marion Barry." Marion Barry was mayor of the capital from 1979 through 1990 and again from 1995 through 1999.
		Bill Frist may very well have been utterly concerned with Jim Sasser's leadership of the DC oversight committee and its lack of efforts to take on Marion Barry's incompetence.
		To others, he is, as Josh points out in a more recent post, an "uppity-you-know-what who got videotaped in a hotel room smoking crack." It's the appeal of that statement to those voters that is at issue.
