This guy must come from a pretty safe district to be taking the stands he is. So one must conclude he definitely is using these inquiries as a springboard for publicity and higher office. Though I must say I agree with what he's doing.

Then again, he eventuallly backed off his Chavez holiday position, sooooo.....think I'll just fall back on my unshakeable position of never trusting a Democrat in anything.
