Very sad...

Now we know why the GOP loves visiting Iraq. Vitter had a big smile on his face with his 10 hour trip now we know why. Oh and Linsey Graham must have a special partner as he travels to Iraq alot. Even my House Rep. Calvert loved his visits as he got free prostitutes. No wonder Larry Craig was fighting so hard to keep his job as he get free sex from Iraq.
SPB check and see if Fingers Foley has made any trips to Iraq for the White House.

God Bless America with its abundance of trial lawyers who can and will sue the hell out of bad people.

This lady needs a legal defense fund and lots of women would donate.

Dang it, I wrote a comment in the wrong place. I meant to write this about the lady who got raped by Halliburton employees.
