At one press conference, Rep. Maxine Waters, now serving her 9th term in the House of Representatives, declared that under the Out of Iraq Caucus's plan, the United States could remove U.S. troops from Iraq "by August of 1980 [sic."] Then, Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois, reasoning that 1980 had already taken place, said the actual date was August 2008. Rep. Lloyd Doggett suggested that Mr. Bush, "the misleader," was to blame for his colleagues' confusion. Rep. Lynn Woolsey, California Democrat, tried to explain the caucus plan, but stumbled over the chronology of the withdrawal, saying at one point that it would take place in the "20th [sic] century." She became flustered, then said: "Actually, we want our troops home with their families by Christmas." The caucus proposal is "confusing," said Mrs. Waters, noting the obvious as Capitol Hill reporters managed to stifle laughter.

No, this is a tape of her and Chris Wallace on FNS day before yesterday, not the presser they're referring to in this editorial. I don't know if there's any tape of that or not.
Mee too!they did,didn't they?
Hmmm....1980?? So, does this mean that since Algore supposedly invented the internet, that means that Lefty Maxine Waters invented the time machine??
Maxine Waters-the woman who never met a thug she didn't like.
OK thanks.
Send her to Zimbabwe to live with her Marxist dictator friend Robert Mugabe or send her to South Africa to be with the ruling Marxist African National Congress, the group that has ended up making the old Apartheid system look great.
ROFL!

Tony Villar? Living proof of the rule, 'never vote for a Mayor with an alias'.
The MSM is co-located with the CBC so "they're already here."
Yes - this needs to be on YouTube
If it was, 'baboon' would be portraying them in a better light.
"Let history record I, Maxine Waters, member of Congress, representing the 35th Congressional District of the United States of America, is of sound mind, excellent health, and a clear conscience..." - Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) during 1998 impeachment hearings.
"The actions of the past few weeks have caused me to trimble. I awoke in the middle of the night with flashes of the struggles of my African ancestors for justice..." - Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) during 1998 impeachment hearings
I am in favor of limiting voting to non-morons. If you vote (or have ever voted) for the esteemed Maxine Waters, you should instantly be given a choice between surrendering your voting right, or wearing a scarlet "M" on election day, so the folks in the town square can give you a proper dose of derision and heckling.
uncanny.
I think the military should carefully consider changing the policy. We need the most talented people, we need the language skills, we need patriotic Americans who exist across the board in our population. We don’t need moral judgment from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
