A truly venal politician from Texas who is often the embodiment of all those caricatures about conservative Republicans. The "man behind the curtain", perhaps, now that Newt's gone. To list just one of his pet projects (for we only have 512 bytes): he championed the use of the "Made in the USA" label on garments made in sweatshops in the (US) Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, pocketing lobbyist cash and goodies for his troubles. A human "For Sale" sign.
