looks like the Bush administration is starting to reap what they've been sowing. You keep a country in a state of fear and xenophobia and you get these crazy over-the-top situations like this and the UAE ports deal debacle. If you're gonna promote a culture of ignorance and bigotry, don't expect the people (or their reps) to become suddenly enlightened to good business deals.

Where's McCarthy when you need him?

[Kanamori]

Oh, when the USA is in need of another McCarthy, Wisconsin will be all over it. Until then, we'll stick with the radical Democrats. What an odd bunch.
