For the education of others, please remember who Representative Jim McDermott of Washington State is and represents. This is the guy who illegally released Speaker Gingrich's telephone conversation to the New York Slimes and others, went to Baghdad to make nice to Sadam and other America-hate stunts. He is probably one of the left-most Congress-critter types and represents Seattle's fruit and nuts crowd.
