David Duke is visiting Syria to show solidarity, says Arabic news. For some reason the article refers to him as "former US Senator", which he isn't, as opposed to "former leader of Ku Klux Klan", which he is, or a "former live-in guest of the federal prison system", which he also is.
David Duke is an American politician who makes Buchanan blush. Literally. In 1976 he ran for Louisiana State Senate as a Democrat. Being the Ku Klux Klan leader at the same time had detrimental effect on his election results, and in 1989, no longer being the leader of Ku Klux Klan, he decided to try his luck again, this time in the Louisiana State House of Representatives, and as a Republican. He had better luck there. He also tried to run for Louisiana governo (his opponent's campaign's main point was "at least I am not Duke", and that was enough), US president, Louisiana State Senate again, US house of Representatives etc., but to no avail. Extracurricular activites included writing a sequel to Mein Kampf and serving 15 months for tax and mail fraud.
"Dr. David Duke's wonderful visit has given us a new and very positive view of the average American," said Syrian parliament member Muhammad Habash.
