A father that not only employed Tommy the Hit-man Burns but actually told him how to do the job? Yikes, with that kind of pedigree maybe Ms. Hunter should have been the politician instead of just doing the politician!
Too bad her father was never brought to justice for that. Talk about bad genes.

In a country where McCain is running tied with Obama, I would say Florida is just as stupid as the rest of the “red” states.

300 layoffs and a 30 percent rate increase, all at a time when people are really, really hurting. Those bastards!
