1. Musgrave trying to worm her way back in
Beware!

Betsy Markey is lacking as a response to Musky. IMO.

2. Well, I'll keep an eye on her closely
and donate to Markey if I have to. She also needs to get moving on her response on the Bitch from Ft. Morgan.

3. It would be nice to get them out of the Cabinet, too. I never wanted a SoS who sides with war

more often than not.

HRC's been with the 'Family' since she came to DC in 1993.

>>>>
At the heart of The Family's American branch is a collection of powerful right-wing politicos, who include, or have included, Sam Brownback, Ed Meese, John Ashcroft, James Inhofe and Rick Santorum. They get to use The Family's spacious estate on the Potomac, The Cedars, which is maintained by young men in Family group homes and where meals are served by The Family's young women's group. And, at The Family's frequent prayer gatherings, they get powerful jolts of spiritual refreshment, tailored to the already powerful.

Clinton fell in with The Family in 1993, when she joined a Bible study group composed of wives of conservative leaders like Jack Kemp and James Baker. When she ascended to the Senate, she was promoted to what Sharlet calls the Family's "most elite cell," the weekly Senate Prayer Breakfast, which included, until his downfall, Virginia's notoriously racist Senator George Allen. This has not been a casual connection for Clinton. She has written of Doug Coe, The Family's publicity-averse leader, that he is "a unique presence in Washington: a genuinely loving spiritual mentor and guide to anyone, regardless of party or faith, who wants to deepen his or her relationship with God."

for members of fundamentalist Christianist fascistic cults!

And Hillary is a member, so it can't be bad, right?
