Last week, I started the week, by writing about how Stephen Payne, a “lobbyist with close ties to the White House (was) offering access to key figures in George W Bush’s administration in return for six-figure donations to the private library being set up to commemorate Bush’s presidency.”
I ended the week by talking about the […]
Maybe it is his marbles and not his bearings after all.
ABC’s Charlie Gibson asked John McCain about his reaction to Iran test-firing nine medium long-range missiles two days ago. McCain delivered himself of this beauty:
