Just curious, I hit a link and found this. Does Congress even pay attention to their own rules?

Senator Edward Brooke, aka the married man who had a sexual affair with Bawba Wawa.

The man must had held a grudge against his d*ck.

I think we should do away with all meaningless medals and honors. The ONLY ones we should keep are for the military. Everything else is a waste of my money, and serves no purpose other than making someone feel good about themselves. Let the private sector and charities do that stuff.

Moderate Republican Edward Brooke, who blazed his own trail in Massachusetts in 1966 as the first black popularly elected U.S. senator, said he is “extremely proud and confident and joyful” to see Obama ascend. Obama sent Brooke a signed copy of his book, inscribed, “Thank you for paving the way,” and Brooke sent his own signed book to Obama, calling the presumed Democratic nominee “a worthy bearer of the torch.”

Brooke, who now lives in Florida, won’t say which candidate will get his endorsement, but he does say that race won’t be a factor in his decision.

“This is the most important election in our history,” Brooke said. “And with the world in the condition that it is, I think we’ve got to get the best person we can get.” http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-06-14-black-republicans_N.htm

I may be wrong but I believe he beat up his wife. I believe she was white. Anyone remember?

The best thing Edward Brooke ever did was call the project dwelling Democrat alcoholics in South Boston what they truly were during their "protests."

Other than that, he's an old guy who slept with Barbara Walters.
