Tin-Foil Hat Brigade Have Representation in Congress

From Fox News:
With the help of Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters, ousted Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide returned to the Caribbean, where he and his wife are staying in a rural guesthouse offered by the Jamaican prime minister.

The exiled Haitian president still claims U.S. military forces forcibly removed him from the country, a contention that State Department officials call preposterous.

"When we came back to him, his bags were already packed. When we asked for his letter of resignation, he said, 'It's in my suitcase, which is already packed,'" said State Department spokesman Adam Ereli.

But Waters, who escorted Aristide from Africa to Jamaica, suggested the United States worked with Aristide's opposition in Haiti to push him out.

"Did the United States of America plan, orchestrate and implement a coup d'etat against a democratically-elected president?" Waters said, adding she is seeking a congressional investigation into Aristide's departure.

Maxine, yer killin' me here... I just can't stop laughing at you... Really... Stop it...

Mark's Remarks


You know, we just can't win. We protect this snivelling, crooked, lying, murderous friend of the Black Congressional Caucus, help him get out of town, and we are accused of kidnapping him. If we would have let him stay in Haiti, and let the dissidents have their way with him, we would be villified for allowing his execution, and trust me, ol' Papa Doc Aristide would be swinging from a tree if he hadn't gotten out of Dodge.

Ms. Waters, your political career is full of hating and blaming America first. Why don't you do us all a favor and leave this wretched country if you think it is so terrible? Why don't you go to one of the nations you have supported and praised, like China, or Russia, or Cuba? Why not go there, since you seem to love communists and crooked dictators so much?
