And with a name like Rahall, I suspect that he is also of Arab descent, like Abourezk.

Rahall is of Mid-East descent, and he made a similar trip
to Iraq in 1990 pre-Desert Storm. Many of WV's prominent
business men (Bennedum, Haddad, Yarid) are of Arabic heritage. Rahall is just about as left as you can get, but
he occupies probably the safest seats in Congress. The
GOP can rarely muster a sacrifical lamb to challenge
Rahall, and when they do, Nick Joe's plurality runs over
90 percent. Despite being pro-choice and pro-gun control,
I guess he keeps getting re-elected by promoting the
welfare state. Unfortunately, he has to be considered the
leading candidate to replace Robert C Byrd in the Senate
when the former klansman goes to his final reward.
