here's what the press release said:

he got this for denying women's right to choose?

The press release stated: "Henry J. Hyde has served America with distinction. During his career in the House of Representatives, he was a powerful defender of life and a leading advocate for a strong national defense and for freedom around the world."<5>

4. Brian's the guy who loves his friday dose of faschisma, no?

However, I am glad we have CSPAN. imagine what congress would be like if they acted in private, under cover. You know. Like the White House.

8. She was a lady

She was beckoned from the audience to come up to stand with Bush & Lamb while Bush placed the medal around Lamb's head. Maybe she was Lamb's wife?
