As for Liddy Dole

As I said, it's personal. When our putative nephew Mickey was adopted in Vietnam the embassy there, after the adoption was completed, refused to let him come to America. Their explanations about why were unconvincing. And that is being polite about it. 26 families were left in this limbo for months. It cost little Mickey's family thousands of dollars, they stayed in Vietnam for months, then in Ireland for months, and in general it was a traumatic experience for everyone. Especially his big sister, Máeráed. Here the summary of it on Sententiae. There is also a link there to the other blog where I posted a lot more info about it.

Liddy Dole's office wouldn't even respond when the family asked for help.

Aside from the fact that only her accent indicates she is actually from North Carolina, and that even Republican friends think she has been worthless as a representative of NC, I have no use for her. Other than that I have nothing against her for the simple reason that she has had no visible impact in her 'home' state one way or the other.
