By immigrationprof

This profile ran in the Chicago Tribune today:

Rep. James Sensenbrenner has been more richly blessed than most.

The Wisconsin Republican was born into a wealthy family; hisgreat-grandfather was a founder of Kimberly-Clark Corp. “He inventedKotex, by the way,” Sensenbrenner says, matter-of-factly.

As ayoung congressman, he escaped death by jumping from his blazing home’ssecond floor, which left him burned and with a bad back, but alive.
