4. LOL It's fair to point out that while he has donated to Hillary, he also donates to TX GOP Senators

Besides his long-standing feud w/the Bushes, he's mostly politically neutral.

6. Man, those stupid Pukes used to think this was the biggest scandal since JFK.

Every time somebody brought up dead troops or WMD, the morons would say something nonsensical about "oil for food, oil for food."

Now it's dead silent.

How do they live with themselves after making up so much nonsense in order to justify dead troops?

Time for a new magnet on the car.
