Majority Leader John Boehner, fresh from offering to beat John Kerry to death if he doesn't apologize for calling the President stupid, tells CNN:
Let’s not blame what’s happening in Iraq on Rumsfeld, the generals on the ground are in charge.
Does anyone honestly think that whoever would become Majority Leader in a Democratic House would say anything so foolish?

Speaking of grotesque misrepresentations of people's words, a few thoughts about the Kerry flap.
Here is what Kerry said to students at Pasadena City College:
You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do…
Several Democrats in the House of Representatives unveiled a revolutionary plan today that would radically change the way we are paying for the war in Iraq. Their shocking plan has been strongly condemned by Republicans around the country, and the Democratic leadership has responded - in classic…
One of the most astonishing things about the Bush administration, in my view, is how many former officials have come out and criticized things the administration has done, and how little impact it has had politically. This can partially be chalked up to an uninformed populace, of course, but also…
Ask the average American their theory on why we "lost" in Vietnam and you are likely to get this answer or some variation of it: "We didn't let the military fight the war, the war was fought by politicians. If we'd let the military do their job, we would have won." This notion has become thoroughly…
Actually, talking about Pelosi as Speaker of the House is just fine with me. She could hardly do a worse job than DeLay's puppet from Illinois.
But that is off topic. What really galls me is not that Boehner or Hastert or W or Cheney or Limbaugh et al are so "stupid", but that they are such hypocrites. It is just sickening to hear W and Dick, parroted by the above tribe, castigate ANYBODY who has served in combat as unpatriotic, when it is a fact that they did everything they could to avoid combat. If the country falls for that sort of hypocrisy again, there really is no hope.
As the bumber sticker said, the difference between Vietnam and Iraq is that Bush had a plan for getting out of Vietnam. It's true, and it's disgusting.
"Diane," Pelosi will be the Speaker of the House, the position currently occupied by Denny "Pedophile Protector" Hastert. Not that that addresses any of the points I was making.
