He's number one out of all 535 members of congress. That's the problem with Washington - it corrupts people. Hell, I'll run against the son of a bitch. Look what they're doing to Hillary. I don't mind REAL victims being paid, but not journalists.
Journalists volunteer to go into war zones.
They think they're indestructible, but they get what they get. These losers think they're Lois Lane, and they can just call Superman whenever they get in trouble and no rules apply to them because they're in search of the next Watergate and they want to be Bob Woodward. I say no memorial for journalists and not a penny for Terry Anderson the whiner. She worked her ass off to free him. Nobody works that hard for something.
