1. A member of the "William Bennet Wing" of the . . .

Republicker Party, responsible for maintenance of "family values." Having two mommies is a crime against nature, but having $200 down on the 7th at Hialeah is just good clean fun.

2. More GOP "Culture of Corruption"

The fascist criminals and their bullshit right wing morality, EXPOSED AGAIN and in the rightard's faces.

3. "Horse racing operation"?? Any details on that? Bookie business??

I mean, it is possible it was an actual horse racing operation. But a bookie business would be a lot easier to run out of one's office than an actual horse racing operation. Just an observation.
