Bloggers have caught a politician saying one thing in a speech, while carrying a very different rendering of a critical passage at a supposed "transcript" of that speech.
The difference is significant.
The transcript whitewashes a slander on the performance of US troops in Iraq delivered by a United States senator.
Specifically, New York's Charles Schumer gave a made a speech on the floor of the Senate last week ascribing the turnaround in the Anbar province in Iraq to the locals, and discrediting the notion that American troops could have had anything to do with it.

He is a POS...I wrote him a particularly nasty email and finished it with " If I ever saw you on fire I wouldn't waste the p#ss to put you out."

Schumer and these elite liberal hatriotics had better pray that Iraq doesn't become a rich and free standing nation. A rich and free Iraq might hire a lot of mercs to capture and bring these war criminals to trial in Iraq for War Crimes against innocent Iraqis.
Schumer must be getting paid big time by the Islamofascist to say the things he says.

The press is more concered with what goes on in rest rooms than on the floor of the Senate.

Traitor, liar, coward, are too good for him. There is something so reptilian and utterly repulsive about him that is not quite human.
All you say is true, plus more that can’t be said. My biggest regret is that dueling was outlawed.

The transcript probably records the speech as written versus as Schumer spoke it. Most likely he went off-script for a second and accidentally said what he really thinks, hence the difference.
