    Thank God! He was looking a little pale and thin there. Now he can get back to Vegas for the buffets! That will give him the strength to make it to the ALEC meetings so they can pay him more bribes to tell him how they want him to vote.

    That actually doesn't sound like much. What about Congressman Clay and some of our other Democrat congressman? Let's compare their totals with Long.
