Documents
gathered by lawyers for the families of Sept. 11 victims provide new evidence of
extensive financial support for Al Qaeda and other extremist groups by members
of the Saudi royal family, but the material may never find its way into
court because of legal and diplomatic obstacles.
I don't
remember the Republicans supporting the vote protesters in Florida in 2000. Come
to think of it, that election was decided by the "Supreme" rulers without a
recount as well. -
Zing!

Sanford On Sin
Here's Mark in 1998 on Bill
Clinton's cheating: "I think it would be much better for the country and for him
personally (to resign). I come from the business side. If you had a chairman or
president in the business world facing these allegations, he'd be gone."
Here's Mark in 1998 on ex-GOP Rep. Bill Livingston, who revealed that he strayed
from his marriage: "The bottom line, though, is he still lied. He lied under a
different oath, and that is the oath to his wife. So it's got to be taken very,
very seriously.
And Mark has fought to have the Ten Commandments publicly displayed. Quick
refresher:

Hi Lisa ...
Two quick thoughts on the Sanford debacle:
Mark Sanford could still be a viable VP candidate. I mean, this guy knows a
thing or two about working in undisclosed locations …
It looks to me like the only Republicans left who still respect the sanctity of
marriage are … Log Cabin Republicans. How ironic is that?
Hang in there,

The Sanford and Sin Saga is our very own reality show. And he drew attention to himself by leading everyone astray about his whereabouts!
The GOP is quickly running out of presidential candidate material.
Who will they be left with when the dust settles?
Rush, Newt or Sarah?
I hope so.

"The mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa, announced he is not going to run for governor of California. Villaraigosa realized he had no chance of becoming governor of California because he was born in this country and you can understand every word he says." --Conan O'Brien
