Special Agent Oso

(38 posts) Sat Feb 2, 2013, 08:05 AM Feb 2013

Nothing to do with prostitution.

He pressured the Dominican Republic to give his buddy, an eye doctor with no experience in port security, a contract scanning freight in Dominican ports, to guard against drugs and terrorism.

I predict Menendez' career will be over soon and the Democratic Party will be better served without him.
