As an accomplished grandstander himself, Hack is a Kerryman through and through. Besides, you could probably e-mail 17 representatives or Senators with the alarming news that their pants were on fire, and their staffs would send you a form-reponse, without their congressthing every knowing why his butt was now toast.
BTW, I work in the Nation's Capital frequently, and the democraps have an absolute lock on the congressional staff thing, with many Republicans running offices that are staffed in whole, or part, by the enemy. (Check out Ole Bob Dole, whose chief of staff was for many years a flagrant Democrat!) Incidentally,IMHO, an unwholesome number of the apparatchniks of the congress (who actually write the bills and run the place) seem to be gay.
Make sure your Republican representatives have staffs that match their allegedly Republican views.
