Re: Watt headed to Cuba

U. S. Rep. Watt keep a sharp eye on the "good old boys" from Alabama.
The Cooper brothers from Mobile, Al. are trying real hard to run a bunch of general cargoes down to Cuba. Those Alabama "blue bloods" consider Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant a profit so watch out for some "student body right" and "end run" plays.

Re: Watt headed to Cuba

Re: Watt headed to Cuba

What are the political party of each person going. I know Rush is a Democrat with a ethics cloud surrounding him. Who are the others?
