3. She's a perfectly awful woman and always has been.

Her smiling disingenuous puss has tarnished many a televised political yak and yammer fest.

Just smarmy and vile.

5. What do Ileana and Luis Posada Carilles have in common.

While one promotes death, the other has actively killed, both are resident-citizens of the U.S.; born in Cuba, and both are being protected by this Republican administration.

In Japan, she would probably have already resigned.

Most likely, George Bush will nominate her to a U.S. position at the U.N. or in our State Department.
