Boehner Blames Troops, Not Rumsfeld, For Iraq Debacle
by Mark Adams
Move over Mean Jean. There's another congressman who wants to take your place as the stupidest representative to ever insult a G.I.Demotion to Minority Leader isn't enough for this embarrassment to all of Ohio, or even losing his leadership position to become a backbencher (which he rightly deserves). He shouldn't ever get elected dog catcher again.
GOP HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER JOHN BOEHNER: Let's not blame what's happening in Iraq on Rumsfeld.
WOLF BLITZER: But he's in charge of the military.
BOEHNER: But the fact is, the generals on the ground are in charge, and he works closely with them and the president.
If this will be known as the year of the Democratic Tsunami. 2008 should be the Great GOP Purge if this guy remains the face of the Republican Party leadership.
This wasn't a blown punch line. This guy is seriously looking for someone, anyone to blame -- even if it's the brave men and women he and his cronies put in harms way. He's not insulting to the military, he's dangerous.
