He badgered Dr. Kessel (Head of FDA) out of office in the 90's, he accepted $2m from RJR Tobacco in 1996, he accepted $3.2m from the Koch brothers last year. The stupid people of Arlington, Tx keep electing this asshole. He will apologize again, but that one will be to God Himself; and the apology will NOT be accepted.<br /><br />He will get his.
