Nat'l Security Dems Silent on 'Hanoi Jane' McDermott

Just last week top Democrats were in high dungeon over what they said was President Bush's accusation they didn't care about national security. But now that Congressman Jim McDermott has given them a chance to prove that sentiment wrong, party leaders have gone AWOL.

Just yesterday, Senior Senate Republican Trent Lott said McDermott's contention that Bush would lie to get the U.S. into a war, delivered from Baghdad no less, constituted "aiding an abetting the enemy." Lott compared the Democrat left-winger to "Hanoi Jane" Fonda.

A day earlier, the Senate's number two GOP'er, Don Nickles, said McDermott's comments made him sound Saddam Hussein's chief propaganda minister.

Reaction so far from top Democrats? Stone cold silence.

Could this be the party of Sen. Tom Daschle, who roared on the Senate floor last week that national security was so near and dear to him and his colleagues that any assertions to the contrary were "outrageous."

What about presidential hopeful Sen. John Edwards, who said Saturday night that he found the Bush comments "infuriating?" If Sen. Edwards is likewise infuriated by Rep. McDermott's aiding and abetting of Saddam, he has yet to say so out loud.

It's stand-up-and-be-counted time for the national security Democrats. And the longer they stay silent about "Hanoi Jane" McDermott, the more appropriate it is to question their national security credentials.

in high dungeon

High dungeon? Is that in Scotland somehwere? The proper phrase is "high dudgeon".

Dudgeon: A sullen, angry, or indignant humor.

"Poultry waste and all agricultural waste threatens the security of our Nation, and we can help Americans get back to work by addressing this issue" Tom Daschle January, 2002 this was during the time the Homeland Security Bill was first being discussed. Let's see the Republicans use some facts and start shooting at the Democrats, that one statement above is enough to kill Daschel and the rest of the weasles. Combineds with Mc Dermott's lies from Iraq they could clear the congress of the Democrats. Too bad not one Republican will have the grit to do what needs to be done.

Too bad they weren't in a high dungeon...or low one for that matter! But I think it's high dudgeon!;>]

"‘It makes me feel ashamed to come from the United States — it is humiliating.’
— JESSICA LANGE
“I HATE BUSH. I despise him and his entire administration — not only because of its international policy, but also the national,” Lange told the audience, according to various reports coming from Spain.
“It makes me feel ashamed to come from the United States — it is humiliating.”

“Bush stole the elections and since then we have all been suffering the consequences,” Lange told the enthusiastic crowd.
Although Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg have recently spoken out in support of Bush’s proposed attack on Iraq, Lange joins a growing list of stars who have questioned or condemned it, including Barbra Streisand, Susan Sarandon and Alec Baldwin. Lange’s spokeswoman had no further comment. "

Anyone have the guts to ask Jessica about her crooked brother?

Who needs to watch the bovine bxxch's movies anyway. She comes from a family implicated heavily in corruption, drug dealing and alleged connections with murder.

You can't just tease us with a little leg like that, chemanius--we want full frontal! What are you talking about in this sentence?

[sam_paine]

But alas! Where is the loud condemnation from the Republicans?

Trent Lott is the best we can do? Mr "36 days or something like that..?"

Where in the hell is Mr Cheney? Where is the freakin Secy of State!!

Did Saddam really kiss McDermott and Bonier on the lips and slip them some tongue or was this just a rumor?
