Bush rewarded one of his loyalists with the ambassadorship to Italy -- despite his past as the founder of an cult-like teen rehab clinic.

Well hey, don't be too hard on him. Jr. probably had a chance to get to know the guy pretty well when they were shopping for a place to put Jenna ;)

All teen rehab programs are cult like.

Seriously.

All rehabs are cult-like.

Now, were the teens supposed to take naughty pictures of themselves or toil endlessly in a leather-wallet making sweat-shop? We need the details.

I like the added sugar that his qualifications include a complete lack of the ability to speak the Italian language and that he was powerful enough to convince Republican lawmakers to name the Italian Embassy building named after him. (or at least sneak it onto a bill). Don Sembler...

It just goes back to my favorite tinfoil hat theory that this nation is being currently run by a gang of sociopaths. The stories of abuse in those clinics goes beyond "cult-like." Try "cruelly inhumane torture" instead.

Its one more exampe of a mind set that civilized behavior is for the lesser folks. We nobility do as we damn well please and our proud of our transgressions against the rest of the American people AND the world. :mad:

Clearly, you are unaware that the current administration and its cronies bears a striking resemblance to a Medieval monarchy with the complete support of The Church.

Kneel, peasant, if you know what's good for you.
