Well now that Van has hit the road one of the trillions of stingers has been removed from me. Of course we do not know how much of our money Van has plundered. I demand a full audit down to the last penny.

And since the law maker judges said that Ashcroft as AG can be held personally liable, look out BamaKennedy and your misery making band of czars!!!!
