This Is Laughable

As everyone knows by now, Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Nincompoopia) called decorated Viet Nam Vet John Murtha a coward the other day. Check this out:

Several Republicans who were on the House floor said afterward that Ms. Schmidt did not appear to know she was referring to a much-decorated veteran.

"The poor lady didn't know Jack Murtha was a Marine - she really just ran into a hornet's nest," said Representative Jack Kingston of Georgia.

Representative David Dreier of California said, "Very clearly, she did not know that Jack Murtha was a Marine."

Bullshit.
