Does he have a tatoo on his forehead that says "Schmuck" on it? Oh, and it sure seemed OK to pimp his wife off while he was getting a nice paycheck and his wife's salary had doubled. Typical Reich-wing Republican.

"OMG! After years of active participation in our corrupt system I am now being victimized myself! I know, I'll rat the system out to our official propaganda organization - they'll expose this behavior and return me to my place as oppressor rather than oppressed!" I don't know which is funnier: that Hampton is a mewing lackey that doesn't understand his place in the pecking order or Fox New's ham-handed attempts at coverup and slander. Seriously, isn't it illegal for the US government to collude with Fox News to deceive the American people? Shouldn't it be illegal for the Republican Party to own a "news" outlet that isn't clearly labeled as a partisan organization? Hysterical.
