That's a known bug in 2.0.x. It is fixed in the 2.1.x series which still
hasn't made it to general release version because of too many other projects
keeping us busy:

 >>> from mx.DateTime import *
 >>> DateTimeFrom('Thursday, February 19, 2004 12:05:34 PM CST')
<DateTime object for '2004-02-19 18:05:34.00' at 82e9fa0>

FWIW, if you are an mxODBC Zope DA user, you're lucky... it ships
with the current 2.1.x versions of egenix-mx-base under the covers.
