Slick Gordy, the Crown Prince of Flip-Floppery
OK, I figgered since I had just posted a huge blog about John McCain (the King of Flip-Floppery) it's only fair to spread the wealth a little and give our pal future-former Sen Gordon Smith credit where credit is due. I know I have missed a few so feel free to comment on your favorite Slick Gordy flip-flop or basic slimy fun-fact.
