Me:"By the way, do you know Gus Bilirakis?"
Greek:"Gus? Oh yea, of course! He's great, my dad knows him really well."
Me:"You know he supports Scientology?" this is where i show my friend dox.
Greek:"WtF. I can't vote for him now. I gotta tell my dad this."
Me:"Will this news not go over well at church this weekend?"
Greek:"No it wont. Greeks hate Scientology."

Pick your friends better, sir. And I'd advise no more letters supporting the cult to other countries if you want to keep office. Have a good one.

He was also told that the whole thing is due to the actions of "a group of nut cases" who have been protesting the cult and they had taken the letter completely out of context. He then chewed my ass out for passing on unsubstantiated rumors about such a fine man. I suppose this is the line they are taking with any complaints they get.
