I couldn't believe it when I saw and heard Gov. Whitman playing the "personal" card to sow an emotional response so people would treat her differently and that "how dare you question me" attitude. I have HAD it with all that crap.
It must run in her BLOODLINE although it is only a bloodline through marriage.
Is her allegence with the elite the reason she was named the head of the EPA so she could be part of the 9-11 cover up?
Why does EVERYTHING lead right back to the Bush Family?
