To call this creature a hog is an insult to all manner of swine anywhere!

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.

Apparently I was unaware that not thinking Hunter is my savior meant I was a liberal. Silly me.
Gee, I’m so insulted. Excuse me while I go cry. *rolls eyes*

All right, Duncan!!!
You will learn, grasshoppa. Nevertheless, you are correct.
What’s up with this?
ilovew thought that Hunter was boring to her (based off of a personal encounter with him). Big deal. She agress with him, but not every conservative is a firecracker to listen to.
In my personal opinion, I think Hunter’s not boring. He’s resolute and a straight shooter, and compared to Bush, he’s excellent. Compared to Reagan? Not so much.
Yeesh. Enough with the fireworks; we agree with Hunter. Our opinions of his speaking ability may vary. That’s all. No more nipping at each other’s heels.
Thank you! I never said I hated Hunter. I never said I disagreed with him, at least in general. I was just making a comment. I also happen to think Rudy is a fascinating speaker but I have no intention of voting for him.
SLEAZY Cheesy Reid!
Ah, don’t be like that.
Oh fer heavens sake, doll, don’t be so sensitive. I’ve been advised to tone down a potential spat more times than I can count.
Of course we want your posts.
Headline? “Al Qaeda opens new front in war: in Democrat Congress. Impede and exhaust DoD (IEDs) stun U.S. forces.”
Way to go Duncan. Now don’t let up, get in Filthy Harry’s face early and often.
If only we'd had C-Span back then, ...
Guilty !!!!
Ping me if you two know before I do! : )
Good on Duncan for calling that POS out.
Throw away the key!
POS is about the kindest term for the guy.
Has anyone heard this story anywhere else but here? NBC evening - 0. ABC 6 o’clock on just now. We will see.
