David Drier is my congressman.

I live in the foothills of Los Angeles.
I don't know poop about him though. Anyone got the scoop?

1. He lived with his (male) Chief of Staff for a while, which is presumably

why they shoved Blunt in there with him.

7. You are fine with a homophobic gay prepresentative???

Drier is just another Republican incarnation of Roy Cohn. If you don't know anything about this man who represents you, you'd better do some research, and quick. If you're hanging out on DU, he ain't your friend, I can tell you that.

9. Fine with me, too.

Doesn't matter to me in the least, but it does to the neocons once that story spread around the internet(s) like wildfire, and why he and Roy Blunt are gonna "co-lead" the House. He is, however, an opponent of gay rights, which is another story altogether.

8. lets see

r e p u b l i c a n l y i n g a s s h o l e

that should get you started in the right direction. ;)

He was one of Ahnold's key allies during the special election. But he has sickened me for years with his ability to so smoothly spew bullshit.
