Lied about being in the CIA for the Bay of Pigs when we has becoming director of the CIA. Covered up Iran-Contra. Would do anything for power (much like Haig and other members of Raygun's cabinet)



But was a WW2 hero -- and initially was honest that supply side economics was voodoo economics. Also, appeared to love his kids -- no matter how dumb they were (Jeb and W).

I would say that since Ike, they were all people consumed by Machiavellian pursuits of power (or in the case of W, a dimwitted puppet of the real Machiavellian powers -- Cheney and others) .

But the poster is correct -- there is nothing in Mango Mussolini's life public, business, or private that would make you go -- but he has some good in him. Mango is a malignant narcissist with zero empathy and no redeeming human characteristic.
