and usually the calls for their head were greater from their own party. But when a conservative gets caught they just boldfaced lie, bluff it out and when they can't lie any more they tearfully, remorsefully confess. And more often than not they get away with it.

Diaper boy, the guy with the wide stance, Mayor Rob Ford and this guy are prime examples.

We have an elected official who has undergone treatment for an addition. That, in and of itself, should be applauded and if he was successful in his treatment should have that effort acknowledged. That is the right thing to do.

The problem we have is this Neanderthal along with his other knuckle-dragging caucus members think that apologizing is for someone else. I am sure he still believes in drug testing welfare recipients even if recent cases have shown less than 3% results where the results for testing have cost more than any predictive savings. Further the fact he refuses to resign from Congress is further evidence of his belief he is "special".

I wonder how many of his hungry, poor and yes drug-addicted constituents consider themselves "special"....probably none.

It is his hypocrisy that denies me the ability to be sympathetic. He is evil, pure evil.

Who protects the big time drug dealers in the USA? Why are they absolutely invisible? Why are there no arrests?

In fact, I honestly can't name a single country or locality in the world with totally legal drugs of any kind that has had any successful cartels operating or even based, within their borders.

We have people like this guy to think for over a half a million dead of Iraquis and financial strife. This guy is a loser and needs to grow up and resign. I sware republicans are a menace.
