Bloomberg Goes Overseas to Insult New Members of Congress
6. November 2010
Politics ends at the water’s edge. Unless you’re the guy who demanded the term limits law be lifted just for you, and then proceeded to offend the majority of the American population by standing behind an aide who called opponents of the 9/11 mosque “racist”.
