(My archive of my posts on him are here<\/a>)<\/p>\n He was also the guy when asked about an investigation of the invasion or Iraq, he quipped that he would wait for a blue dress.<\/p>\n This is like putting Keith Richards in charge of the Office of National Drug Control Policy<\/span>.<\/p>\n This may explain why the only two Congressmen brought up on charges so far are Black Democrats, and, just heard on Olbermann, that there have been 8 investigations, and all<\/span> 8 of them were of Black Democrats.<\/p>\n Jeebus!
