Senator Patty Murray, Boob
The Conning Tower ^ | Dec. 23, 2002 | Trentino

Senator Patty Murray, Boob

Patty Murray, the senior senator from Washington State, met to shmooze with a bunch of high school students a few days ago She got around to considering why Oasana bin Ladin is beloved throughout the Third World. Senator Murray knew the answer. Listen up.

"Why are people so supportive of him in many countries . . . that are riddled with poverty? He's been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. We haven't done that. ... How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan?...We've got to ask, why is this man [Osama bin Laden] so popular around the world?"

This is sublime fatuity, foolishness squared.

Senator Murray is depicting bin Ladin as a bearded Lady Bountiful or perhaps Father Christmas, skipping from country to country leaving a trail of goodies while smiling natives praise his multitudinous kindnesses and press his photo to their breasts. The picture is lunatic. Does Senator Murray have a screw loose?

It's a legitimate question, and the answer is "Yes."

She has totally omitted from her consciousness the airliners full of terrified passengers crashing into the Trade Towers and the Pentagon at bin Ladin's command. She has omitted the Muslim crowds cheering death and destruction visited on the Great Satan, the United States.

By press release, she has recanted in Clintonian fashion. Read it and weep. It's more silliness, artful silliness, contemptuous silliness. Who does she think she's kidding?

I'd like to hope Republicans could keep the Patty Murray story alive, but after the Lott fiasco, they are still hiding under their beds.

No big deal!

The senator Murray does not do her homework and is sadly lacking in the dynamics of the root sousrce of bin Laden's furor or following. Sadly, it appears she falls on the left side of the Stanford-Binet bell curve.

Patty Murray is not a boob. She is a vicious, tyrannical, mean-spirited, big-government socialist.

Is it your contention that one cannot be both?

The problem is this -- the mainstream media is not picking up the story -- seems only Brit Hume brought it up yesterday, has any other any major TV news/talk show or big-city paper brought this up ?

I believe that the Trent Lott story was pushed into the public-eye by Jesse Jackson (?? at the urging of Terry McCulliffe ??)-- but the Republican Party will not stoop to these tactics (new tone in Washington ??)

Murray thought that because she was speaking to high schoolers, that the NEA and the local teachers union chapter would keep her quotes private. Apparently, some of the high schoolers are smarter than she is! They must have taken their government lessons at home, or a private school.

I recommend we excise Western Washington from the Union. Patty and Baghdad-Jim McDermott should rot in a particular, non-U.S. hell.
