The vociferous Clinton critic says impeachment is important--so when Congress asked him, he had to talk. Intellectual feuders...
...soccer team and, supplied with worse lines and hence less likable, the local hoodlums. Since Joe practices a strong allegiance to his "family," which includes Liam, and since former addict Liam and addict-at-large Liam's wife play fast and lose with debts to said hoodlums' boss, it's clear that too-willing-to-help Joe could soon get pulled down into the muck again. Once in the muck, he might find drink not far behind...
