ASS-mus is a self serving, CFR usfeul idiot , neo-con shill that loves to hear the sound of his own voice. He's an unapologetic supporter of NAFTA, GATT, FTAA, WTO, CAFTA, VAT Tax and any alphabet swill coming from Rockefeller's CFR, yet a flag waving twit come the 4th of July! H.L. Mencken stated the men that the American people love most extravagantly are the greatest liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.
