Yesterday the members of US House of representatives issued condemnations and voted overwhelmingly to officially denounce Irianian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and tighten snactions against him and his government. Holocaust Survivor Congressman Tom Lantos (D-CA) led charge which passed 397-16.
Incidentally, two votes against were Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.
I've noticed that for several votes taken recently in the house on measures concerning the Middle East, each has passed with very wide margins though two (and sometimes the only 2) dissenting votes were both cast by by 2008 presidential candiates Democrat Dennis Kucinich and Republican Ron Paul.

ISRAEL IN NATO: WHO SAID WHAT WHEN?
This Week:
"We should open the organization's membership to any willing state that meets basic standards of good governance, military readiness, global responsibility -- regardless of location," Giuliani said. "I think we should consider countries such as Australia, Singapore, India, Israel, Japan."
- Rudolph Giuliani; September 19, 2007
Nine Months ago:
"We should be finding ways to upgrade Israel’s relationship with NATO. This could even some day mean membership. NATO’s mission now goes far beyond just Europe. Therefore, it is only natural that NATO seeks to include Israel."

Trump: Starving US Americans Can Now Buy Maps Thanks to Miss Teen South Carolina
Remember her from a few weeks ago? Lauren Caitlin Upton (teen usa south carolina) is now officially a high priced model for the Donald Trump agency.
Considering President Bush's constant boasting about his less then perfect grade point average, perhaps the almanac queen has a future in presidential politics.
She could team up with Dan Quayle, they would still be smarter than Bush.
