I'm sorry I hate to keep bringing this up but as a life long resident of Connecticut it just really irks the hell out of me that this person is listed as being from Connecticut. His birth place is listed as New Haven, Connecticut, so I'm picturing some unholy shrine deep beneath the compound of the Skull and Bones headquarters at Yale university. Where he was anointed on an altar beneath an upside down cross. After which he was quickly shipped to a ranch in Texas to begin his, hypocritical, training in militant conservatism.
I mean really can't we find a better champion for our state. Just off hand I'm thinking Benedict Arnold was also born in Connecticut. He caused much less damage to our country than Little Georgie. Or we may also consider John Brown, he may have been a murderous lunatic but he was responsible for far fewer senseless deaths than our former wannabe dictator.
dumb ass
Ohhhh...... targetman377 are you a Bush fan?
