[MARTIAL MONK]

For those with short memories, CFR was the Global Warming of the day. Republicans were being relentlessly pounded every day in the media as being funded by corrupt businessmen and vested interests. To no small extent the media were right.

To the degree that the media were wrong, the Republicans could offer no cogent reply. There was Abramoff after Abramoff. Delay and crew could only look up with chocolate all over their faces and say no, they din't eat no chocolate.

Right or wrong CFR sure took the pressure off.

[Grunthor]

CFR is a direct frontal assault upon the Constitution of the United States.
