"In the war against terrorism, we’ve given the terrorists a cause and created more terrorism. Even though Saddam is gone, the majority of the Iraqi people want us gone. We have proven ourselves infidels." - Senator Earnest (Fritz) Hollings (D.,SC)

So glad that Hollings is leaving. I think he's lost it.
Only if he flies a plane into a building. And not before.
Thanks kindly for the pings :-)
Correction, Fritz...I's a Crusader!
A man can say anything when he has secret service guns to back his ass and a lifetime pension! Doesn't mean we have to buy it ! With a vote we can strip him of his soapbox and hired guns!Hey Fritz I vote!
Senile old coot.
Fritz -- "Other than all dat headcuttin and suicide bommin, dese terrists are good ole boys, like me"
He's retiring. That is why he doesn't have a rat handler standing next to him preventing him from spouting what he really thinks.
For anyone who hasn't read the whole article in The (Mis)State, happygrl has it correct.
Fritz uses a lot of words to basically blame the Jews.
God, what an embarassment this man is.
Jim DeMint can't get to the Senate quickly enough.
Speak for yourself, you senile old bastard!
Take a vacation, Fritzie....try the Baghdad Hilton.
LOL, he ought not to use "impressive-sounding" words whose meaning he does not know.
In the states of Ohio and Maine there are four senators who call themselves Republicans, but cross over to vote with their stinking buddies time after time.
He flew the stars and bars. Frizie, I am not like you.
Senator Hollings, please pick up the white courtesy phone. Vice President Cheney calling.
From our Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --"
I thnk it is high time to have our public officials re-swear they will uphold the constitution and reaffirm their agreement with the Declaration if Independence -- which indicates that they agree with our quest for freedom AND the fact that man is endowed by our Creator (God) with certain unalienable rights.
And, let them either agree or disagree with the above phrase, which agreement should qualify them to hold public office. Half the democRAT party would have to resign because I'm certain they couldn't/wouldn't attest to their belief in God. And, we should have a quick response team to sue any public official who violates the constitution by their actions or statements. I am so pissss*sed......
...whip his traitorous ass with a knotted rope
"...about as sharp as a sack of wet mice." Foghorn Leghorn
Dear Senator Hollings:
I read with interest and disgust your diatribe against our involvement in Iraq. You stated there were no WMD, Al Qaeda or terrorism in Iraq. Funny how Clinton thought so, as did Kerry, as did the UN, as did you, sir, in earlier positions in the Senate.
You feel the need to openly lie and misrepresent facts simply to make the President vulnerable in a time of war. I have little doubt that with each American death, your smile broadens. Hopefully, your prayers for an American defeat will go unanswered. You sir, are, to put it mildly, reprehensible.
Your statements can only be taken as completely politically motivated or a sign of dementia. I would hope you would be censured, but with similar garbage from Kennedy and a couple of other of your brethren, it would take up all of the Senate's time.
Your time, Senator has come and gone. Thank you for stepping down. It's the one thing you have done that I agree with.
Has Inez been asked to comment on these remarks?
