the asshole who provided the GOP idiots with those dumb ass purple heart bandages.

2. It was a two day program. Who needs a college degree, when a two

day program can get you into WH Press Conferences? Un-fricken-believable.

11. How do we find out who else graduated from there?

Also, it would be nice to know who took part in their internship program.

This is interesting: "The Leadership Institute is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan educational foundation.

It does not support, endorse or oppose candidates or proposed legislation. The Leadership Institute does not discriminate with respect to race, color,religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, or partisan affiliation. The Leadership Institute has an open admission policy, all programs are open to the public."

I like that they are nonpartisan. You can tell by their reading list: http://www.leadershipinstitute.org/04RESOURCES/RTLlist.htm

Or by the products they sell. http://www.leadershipinstitute.org/04RESOURCES/06ASAttire.htm
