Soooooo Republican to take your own crap and try to smear other innocent people with it.

No wonder no one respects Republicans any more.

If he did he would know that Hawaii is part of the United States.

I cannot believe that none of the tv talking heads have touched on the fact that he implied Hawaii is not part of America on faux today.

MEANEST, NASTIEST creature you'd never want to live near. The guy was just nasty. Not saying all Cubans are like that. But that one was. And Sununu - same.

A lot of Lebanese immigrants have prospered elsewhere in the Americas. Some of the more business-minded of them have become wealthy, and I believe at least two president of Colombia and Ecuador have been of Lebanese descent.

When you get fired by a Bush for corruption, you are really corrupt. Of course, he had also become a national disgrace/laughing stock fodder for every comic with breath.

wise. I heard through grapevines (back then I had grapevines) that W pushed to have him sacked because he was involved in some of the action. A totally corrupt piece of crap without an ethical leg to stand on, a man who took advantage of his position of trust in petty and self indulgent ways.
