I am not sure why Sen. Jesse Helmes and former Sen. Carol Mosely Braun can't work together -- both, after all, have freely expressed their support for dictatoriships; Braun who vacationed with Nigerian strongman Sani Abacha and Helmes who supported any number of right wing dictators who pledged to fight Communism (which usually meant death squads to kill opposition journalists and Catholic priests).

Instead of bickering they should get together and write a book; call it "Repressive Governments I've Shilled For". Could be a best seller. I'd buy it.
