the Dubai ports deal was much ado about nothing. It was a scam designed to make Bush bad by the liberals

Not to insult you, but that is "bot" thinking. Portgate was a national-security issue. it's posible to see it both ways, but Dubai, like many Muslim countries, harbors elements of Al Qaeda and he who controls the manifests controls the ports and what goes in and out of them. While some may have overstated the potential threat there, there certainly was a threat.

BTW, Hannity was on the same side of that issue as Savage. Only Rush defended it. Is Hannity a tool of the Democrats?

Dubai operates many businesses in this country and Dubai ports did a pretty good job at their facility in Miami.

Of course, Chuck Schumer, who has a congenital hatred of both Arabs and common sense, used this issue to bash the Bush administration and the Cletus Yokel wing ate it up. Yep, we shurrrrreeee showed dem A-rabs, didn't we?
