The thing we should be looking into is, who put this guy up? Where'd he come from, and who put him forward?

Whoever else was involved -- Prince Waleed al-Talal? Some of Vladimir Putin's boys? -- needs to be exposed.
Don't forget about the speech Ted Kennedy made when he passed the liberal leadership torch to BO. ...and I'm sure there were many others.
