Happy early/belated birthdays, CXS and Haslam!

If that one doesn't count,

I mildly disliked him before, but now that I've seen what he posted recently, I think he's absolutely awful. Sorry you had to deal with that, Peebs.

As an aside, I hate when people who aren't in Congress identify as "Blue Dog Democrats."

Self-identification as a racist i think is rather low in the United States. No one wants to go out and proclaim to the wold that, literally, they are racist. The term's #1 fuction is a label someone uses to describe others.
Rich white folks in praticular tend to reject the label because they see themselves as 'respectable' in ways other people aren't.

Hate to judge a book by the cover, but he acts exactly like you'd expect someone who looks like Newt Gingrich and Chris Christie to act, with a dash of Pat Robertson too.
