1. I suspect the Republicans will now throw him under a whole fleet of buses

or a nice new high-speed train built with stimulus money. He certainly didn't sound like one of them.

2. Really? Wow. Good for him.

He's confirmed Gregg went to the Obama Admin and asked for the job. Gregg then put his tail between his legs and ran back to his Puke buddies.

4. Clean air and bright lights must have scared him

had to retreat to the musty, stinky darkness.

3. he also said that he can't prove that Gregg got orders from his fellow GOPers but he also can't

disprove it.

5. He did very well. nt

6. What's the possibility that they (the republican party) put him up to asking

for the position to see what cards Obama would reveal to them? Maybe the price he would have to pay to be a counter agent was just too high?

shocked I tell you.

8. He's related to a guy I went to college with. A cousin, I think.

The guy I knew is now an Orthodox priest in PA. The Arab American community in Peoria, from whence LaHood hails, is an interesting bunch of folks. Mostly Repugs, but not the awful kind...the kind that are still proud to be the party of Lincoln.
