I don't know whether Speaker Pelosi (D-Low Approval) is still in Washington or home for the holidays already. I do know, however, that there's a good chance she began drinking heavily as soon as her screams subsided upon hearing Murtha say "I think the surge is working."
Face it, the one thing that Democrats don't want under their "Holiday Trees" this year is news from Iraq that victory and peace are possible. Look for various nutroot groups to start pressuring Nancy Pants to censure Murtha for his remarks.
Within hours, Murtha moved to offset his honesty and candor with a statement of carefully prepared backtracking so loaded with b.s. head cold sufferers across America could smell it.
Murtha contorts himself so much through various quotes that you almost forget he's fat.
"...the surge is working for a couple of different reasons. And one reason is the increase in troops."
So...sending more troops in is working because we sent more troops in, right?
"One of the reasons Alex Rodriguez's home run totals are so high is that he hits a lot of home runs."
Yes, these are the people that you're letting spend your money. If your neighbor said something that stupid you wouldn't let him borrow your weed whacker.
Murtha goes on to say that the war "can't be won militarily." So, John, it works better when there's more military there but we can't win it with the military? The alternative to winning a war militarily is..."Rock, Paper, Scissors"? "Tag"? "Gin Rummy"? Help me, Congressman.
Full disclosure: I am not one of the Republicans who enjoys greater mental health than the average Democrat (ask my mom) and I still wouldn't vote for a blithering basket case like Murtha.
Those of you who keep doing so should probably read up on the harmful side effects of sniffing glue.
