Ah, I assumed (we all know what happens there!) that you were referring to him doing the same thing that Hillary did, establish residency in another state and run for Congress. It is similar but I would argue not the same thing.

Even though he divested himself of Halliburton...agh, I really don't feel like rehashing that again.

I think we both can agree that too many politicians (on both sides) have their hands way too deep in the cookie jar though, yes?

Maybe we can talk about a lighter topic such as global warming or baseball vs. softball umpires.
