I'm sure all the networks will be showing this.

Okie Dokie. fair enough.

Me thinks she needs to be charged with fraterinization (which I think is a charge in the UCMJ)

[Peach]

Rep. Heather Wilson (R) - and she mis-prounounced it and looked like she would cry at any second.

[kcvl]

She thinks she is hot *hit...


Mrs. Wilson is also the first woman veteran in American history to serve in Congress.

[mombonn]

Thanks for the phone number, I got right through. Told her assistant she's a disgrace.

[onyx]

See post 2929 -- that's who said that.

[Darlin']

Hehehe.... I'd nevah want to be the object of "that Look" from Rummy.

[onyx]

I am dialing NOW.

[HairOfTheDog]

GET WOMEN OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT! They don't have the stomach for it. This one is going to cry.

Idiots without the stomach for tough problems run in in both genders.. You, for example, have been hysterical since this morning, with your panic-barf thread over the mere idea of an apology. (Rumsfield will APOLOGIZE to CONGRESS today! I'm going to be SICK!!! ^)

[Just mythoughts]

This gal served in the military.

[isthisnickcool]

She has a pretty impressive biography

She seems like she is kinda droll and serious. But I get the feeling she wants to jump up and flash her chest at Rummy. I could be wrong.....

[Cold Heat]

She is toting the line made by the General.

It will be determined that it is BS.

[MEG33]

I hate to accuse her of this ...but she may be covering Kapinski's kabooty.

[faithincowboys]

Wilson is really just disgraceful--I used to like her, but this is just really gross. THe GOP nevers sticks together--the Rats never have that problem. Wilson is worse than Ted Kennedy.

[Maigrey]

2904 which refutes what I had heard.

[hocndoc]

Good thoughts.

Better psychological abuse of combatants than murder, rape and mutilation of citizens at random or at the whim of over-sexed sons of a dictator.

And, excellent point about the false machismo - dependent on terror, infringement of basic rights of half the population and the threat of hell ensured by rape if any of their women cross the line.

"Pregnant by one of the prisoners? "

PFC England, the one with the inmate on the leash is from Ridgeway, W.V...one of Byrd's constituents. She was married for about a year and then divorced because her husband couldn't adjust to her military service. She is pregnant by one of the other soldiers serving with her.

This info was in today's New York Post. She claims on her nights off, or when she was through work, she would go over to the other side of the prison where her boyfriend was and visit with her friends.

First of all, no one but the people actually on duty at the various parts of the prison should have been inside the prison. Off-duty visitors should have been ruled out. There should have also been metal detectors set up for the staff to go through, and all packages searched upon entrance. Cameras should have been considered contraband and not allowed unless specific permission had been received from whoever was in charge. It seems that supervisory staff was extremely lax in doing their job. From what I understand the abuse occurred on one specific shift of soliders...probably evenings or midnights when supervisor presence is usually limited.

[Peach]

The GOP eats its own.

[faithincowboys]

No more women in the military--that's that. They just are too emotional and irrational to be in the military.

GET WOMEN OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT!

Was just telling a friend last night that I would totally support repealing the 19th Amendment...seriously.
