Background
Convicted felon manager in Iran Contra crimes, convicted for lying to Congress but overturned due to immunity given in return to testifying before Congress.
He went on to a profitable careers as a Republican icon, Fox News entertainer, U.S. Senate candidate and radio personality. Lesson, Republicans love their felons.
Strangely enough he has recently started comparing Bush's plans for a surge to the escalation he saw in Vietnam. He also didn't mean it as a complement.
