Most of his type , to my knowledge have been white but he is nothing new , in my opinion.

He’s DLC just like all the other DLC corn-dogs. I feel bad for the folks who had to work in his office. William From William Crain of Montana via e-mail:

What he said, in effect, was I'm slacking off on my congressional duties that you taxpayers are paying me for to campaign for governor. Ridiculous. ivan From Ivan via e-mail:
