Hey Mr. "Disgusted", since you know him to be such a highly principled, purer than the driven snow politician why not explain the $8,000. so we don't have to think that criminal cretin was blackmailing Solis? An $8,000. "handout" as you've suggested it was is beyond credulity. You decision to throw in an arbitrary charge of "right-wing rednecks" as dismissive of anybody who is interested in "the truth" of what was really going on here reveals more about you than is does about "us".
