Remember back in 2006 when things in Iraq were at rock bottom and a would-be GOP congressman from California went to Iraq and came back with pictures showing how everything was peaceful and great in Baghdad?
Only the picture was of downtown Istanbul … So close, but yet so far, and all that.
Yeah, those were great days for Howard Kaloogian, along with the fact-finding trip of talk radio hosts he went to Iraq with who turned out to be funded by a bunch of Iraqi and Kurdish foreign lobbying money. But now Kaloogian has resurfaced as … drum roll, please … the guy funding the Tea Party Express!
