Prediction : some lib in the House will file an ethics complaint against Schmidt by year's end. :(

See www.powerlineblog.com for a photo (photoshopped of course) of Democratic leaders holding up elucidation of the Murtha plan: 1) cut 2) run.

"cowards cut and run, Marines never do."

Congressman Murtha may NOT be a coward, but immediate withdrawal of the troops, especially in the middle of a victory well worth the effort, is. The marine is exactly RIGHT.

A withdrawal would mean certain defeat. WE CANNOT WITHDRAW and must finish this war to its certain victorious end.

Thank God for the Republicans and for President George Bush. Most of all, thank God for our brave troops, heroes all.

Listenin' on Savage! Thanks.

What struck me about this whole affair is that the Congresswoman never "insulted" or "humiliated" or "defamed" Murtha (which I assume is the great breach of decorum that got her remark stricken). She quoted a currently serving Marine whose statement (if one ignores the programmed response by Democrats) could be interpreted as "Hey, fellow Leatherneck, we don't take the coward's way out. We stand and fight!" I personally think that the 'Rats were just waiting for any remark that could be twisted into challenging Murtha's "courage" or "patriotism" so that they could (instead of observing the rules of order themselves) yell and cavort like "question time" on the BBC.

She is a fine mamma~ Bump!

Bravo for Ohio Congresswoman Jean Schmidt!

[Northern Yankee]

She said he told her that "cowards cut and run, Marines never do."

Democrats booed and shouted her down, bringing the House to a standstill.

Why would the democrats boo?

They must have been offended, meaning they must be cowards.

Thanks for the ping.

Democrats booed and shouted her down

Typical dimocRat reaction. Freedom of speech ONLY FOR LIBS.

Thought I'd laugh my tail off at that one. Not a one of those Democrats raised any objection until after the Republicans told them they'd just been insulted.

No doubt they had no idea what was going on.

Just for a reference point, I was for the war, then against the occupation. Since then I have "evolved" and believe we need to stay the course and make sure Iraq does not turn into a terrorist nation.
However, I thought what she said was out of line. I believe there are good people on both sides sand to call someone a coward because they don't agree with you is wrong. I appreciate all contributions from our military women, but women are not subject to the selective service and the combat deaths of women in Iraq are in single digits. Hearing Representative Schmit call a former combat veteran a coward is upsetting.
