Country:  | He's a cocky little prick. That's what he is.
He opposed the war in Iraq. He visited Saddam Hussein before the war to propose his support. He named Hussein as one of the best leaders in the 20th Century. Currently he is being investigated for receiving money through oil in the Iraqi "Food for Oil" program.
In this years General Election he was the head of a politcal party (I forget the name) which only existed for people to vote against the war in Iraq. It got one seat in the House.
He is nowhere near the capacity of Hanoi Jane as a traitor. However, I would certainly not invite him over for dinner...well, I suppose I could...to kill him and sell his body to Iraq for oil.
