Chaos erupts outside Petraeus briefing

Chaos erupted Wednesday outside a House briefing with Army Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. military commander on the ground in Iraq.
Protestors thronged the halls of the Rayburn House Office Building outside the committee room where Petraeus is briefing members of Congress. The assembled protestors, which included members of Code Pink, shouted for members to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq as the lawmakers entered the room.
Then, Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, the ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, called on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to resign after suggesting the war in Iraq is lost.
That prompted the protestors to shout him down and pandemonium ensued before Capitol Police officers cleared the hallway for reporters, members and aides.
Both parties have scheduled on-camera briefings following the meeting to share their impressions of what Petraeus has to say.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) scheduled a briefing for Democrats on Wednesday afternoon, a day after ABC reported that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would not attend the meeting.

I'm starting to like this guy. He seems to be one of the few Republicans who has the b*lls to stand up and call a spade a spade.
Thank You, Mr. Hunter. You are a breath of fresh air.

Go Duncan..............Could it be that there is a Republican in Washington who has a set?
Not to be confused with my representative Ron Kind who is so chickensh*t as to make ButtBoy Rusty look like a man.......and that takes a lot.

Be fair Quiltie!
If the Republicans didn't play dead, they wouldn't play anything. Besides, how the hell would anyone then recognize them?
Hard to believe that today's Republican wimps are the political heirs of those who freed the slaves and saved the union.
Can't we all just get along? If Hunter keeps this up, we'll have to have a two-party system, God forbid!

OK. but look at the start of each of our PING lists. Could be just a different order. And Antoninus is probably different too.

You should take a grammar class.
And you should take one on general politeness and one on humor.

What the hell were protesters doing
inside the House Office Building? Which einstein authorized
that security breach?
This smells like Pelosi-stench.

Is this Zarf from the daytime soap All My Children?
Is that Jethro from the Beverly Hill Billies?
