Jimmy and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss just how profitable it can be to serve – and serve oneself – in Congress.

Oh, that’s right – the Bushes ‘n their ancesters took over our Washington, DC , ‘n we welcomed their Elitists -their NWO -no borders w/ open arms w/ the last-election- ,,, I doubt there will ever be another – unless this last mess is cleaned up,,,,
