4. in my opinion
the most disturbing member of the list to me, after Dennis Ross, is Bernard Lewis, an academician and Arab "expert" who has written extensively about Islam and, I believe, was a consultant to the Bush bastards after 9/11. He previously held himself up being unbiased, but I guess he has become just another crime family schill.

8. Fred Thompson ran Nixon's defense before the Senate Watergate Committee
He was the committee's Minority (ie, Republican) Chief Counsel. It's refreshing to see that he is still committed to defending the rights of these poor misunderstood people. He must be a man of high principal and lofty character.

13. So many honorables and ambassadors! What interest do they have in
protecting Libby? So, basically they are saying that it's okay to lie about compromising national security ~ Who is looking out for this country?

14. Tommy Chong. Did his nine months and $109k fine.
In a sleezy prison. For what?

This thing called justice doesn't really exist in America. Only in a nominal way. Limbaugh, caught red handed, walks the streets.


I want a Constitutional amendment that says no person of wealth can hold office.
