[Mr. Bird]

Angela Mascia-Frye, 35, oversees European operations for the West Virginia Development Office. The Daily Mail reported that she had accompanied Wise on a trip to Spain last year.

A state full of dirt farmers and coalminers shouldn't be wasting their tax dollars on crap like this. Forget the adultery, where's the outrage about the WV Development Office and its European operations?

The European office -- I'm sure it's a pork project brought in by Sheets Byrd. And I'm sure it's unionized.

Gov. Wise? What an oxymoron! H**l, he ain't even cute or charismatic! Just a plain, vanilla-in-the-sun Democrat.

* European investment supports nearly 25,000 jobs in West Virginia.
* EU companies are the top international investors in our state.
* The 15 EU nations bought roughly $900 million worth of exports from West Virginia businesses in 1995.
* Europe is our state's number one export market. source

I would challenge your generalization. West Virginia has a lot more than dirt farmers and coalminers.

Do you visit WV often? Been underground, have you?
