So, when I was little I saw this cartoon from Disney about this lion who the stork accidentally left with the sheep family and he was raised to be a little timid so they called him Lambert the Sheepish Lion. My favorite part of the cartoon was the song, which was a play on the noises sheep make in the middle of the word Lambert, so it went a little like “Laa-aa-ambert”. That song/cartoon is why I made my mother vote for Blanche Lambert (now Blanche Lincoln, after a brief stint as Blanche Lambert Lincoln).
This story came up at work today while we were discussing how people voted on the bailout. You see, as a general rule, I don’t like Bob Corker because he beat Harold Ford, Jr., whom I love, so I’m always interested to see how he votes on things. Which means that I am often looking at a breakdown of how the Senators voted, and I always start humming when I see Lincoln’s name…which prompted the story.
Without further ado, I would like to introduce you all to my friend, Lambert the Sheepish Lion.
