WASHINGTON (AP) -- Missouri Sen. Jean Carnahan apologized Wednesday for commenting that the White House ``can't get Osama bin Laden, so they're going to get me.''

Made Sunday at a Democratic luncheon in Clay County, Mo., Mrs. Carnahan's remarks were greeted with laughter and applause: ``I'm the No. 1 target of the White House. They can't get Osama bin Laden, so they're going to get me.''

Time for the Missouri Dems to pull a Torricelli? Maybe they will nominate Abraham Lincoln to run for the grieving widow, I'm sure they don't care about trivialities like his party affiliation at such a time as this when the fate of the galaxy, er, world, er, country, er - well, the Senate Dems' privileges and perks - are at stake.

her own what?

No pun intended there. heh heh

Mark Racicot called it ``unusually odd and inappropriate". Yep, that's the respose from the Pubbie Nat chairman. I'm surprised he didn't offer the apology for her himself. Don't yell BOO at him, he'll probably have a heart attack. CALLING LEE ATWATER!

Within 48 hours, the protitute Dem press will have made Carnahan the hero of the piece and the Repubs the villians...

Yup, CNN was just running a free campaign ad for Pryor from Arkanasas, Tim Hutchinson's opponent. They were busy draggin out the 'dirty' laundry of how Tim is a baptist but got a divorce in 1999. WOW, someone got a divorce in 1999. I'll bet only a million other people got divorces that year. (sarcasm off tag here). I don't know all the facts. Don't know if he was cheating around etc.. but in this day and age SO WHAT. Of course Billy Bob Clinton was a baptist wasn't he??. Funny how I missed the stories of how his cheating was evil. CNN=toilet scum.

"I'm the No. 1 target of the White House. They can't get Osama bin Laden, so they're going to get me."

I listen to KC,MO talk radio and her CNN comments have been widely broadcast. The local media is doing it's job exposing The Widder as an unpatriotic baffoon.

Mrs. Carnahan, I spit in your general direction.

[Saundra Duffy]

Female buffoon alert! This woman is a disgrace! GO, GOP!! For victory & freedom!!!

I need a Talent sign for my front yard more than ever now. This is as bad as the N word that that doddering old fool Byrd said and got away with it. But I doubt Dan rather will report on this...

[Sloth]

What a whore... anyway, Carnahan is currently a greater threat to American interests than bin Laden, so that would be the correct priority.

[GOPyouth]

Mrs. Carnahan, I spit in your general direction.

LOL. Ok, you've forced me to watch that this week.

[copycat]

You'll be able to call yourself Senator Carnahan for the rest of your life...you have had your ceremonial tribute to your husband, and now it is time for you to move on, and for MO to elect an actual "legislator."

[Coop]

I need a Talent sign for my front yard more than ever now.

You can request one from the campaign. Contact information here.

Translation:

Well, that didn't go the direction I wanted it to so let's just for get I said that. We will try something new on Friday.

For ONCE, I would love for a politician to stand up a say "Yep I said that, and if you dont like what I said - tough"

[Post Toasties]

But Carnahan always supported the WH Rapist when he assaulted and threatened women, didn't she?
