with Newt's mom the night it aired. I can't believe the gall of the Republicans to lie when the proof is so readily available online.

BTW Amy Goodman is a national treasure. She's been doing the job the MSM has failed to do for years.

Was this before or Hoffa disappeared?
I didn't realize the close ties between Hoffa and the Repubs.
