On the recordSeptember 25, 2000

surprise, surprise. A new report says that even though Uncle Sam gave Russia $112 billion over the last 10 years, Russia and China are joining forces. The report says Russia sold missiles and submarines to China knowing full well that China would point those missiles at America. Now, if that is not enough to make you barf right here, the report further says that Russia will support China if Uncle Sam intervenes in Taiwan. Unbelievable. What is even worse? While all this was going on, Janet Reno was investigating Monica Lewinsky. Beam me up. Congress better wake up and smell the treason around here. I yield back the fact that Chinagate makes Watergate look like a toilet bowl commercial.
