I am SO pissed I can barely speak. Here is the email I sent to Mr. Daschle:

Mr. Daschle-

I just heard on FOXNEWS that your 'open and honest' statement regarding the President yesterday was neither open nor honest- that you called the media beforehand and alerted them to your speech. Is this how we're supposed to believe you? You give a partisan-labeled 'passionate and spontaneous' speech based on an article you misinterpreted; yet you gave the media outlets advanced warning so they can display your 'unscripted and impassioned’ comments?

This is truly unbelievable. You wrongly accuse the President and then turned around and purposely mislead the American people for your own political gain. Your actions were not done in the interest of the American people, but for your own selfish, political gain. Not only should you apologize to the President for misquoting him, but you should now also apologize to the American people for falsely misleading them that your speech was sincere.

A little something to add to the pot:

Look what Dog found on this thread posted by KLT..

Daschle's RANT

In recent weeks, aides report Daschle was depressed because his party was running out of time to invent an issue that would sway voters in the midterm election.

Then Dubya gave him an opening. But it took more than 24 hours of meetings between Daschle and Democratic strategists to decide if this was the right time to launch an all out political attack on Bush. They talked, they argued, they called in more strategists and talked some more. According to Democratic sources, most in the room told Daschle that getting on the Senate floor and screaming his head off would be a bad move.

But Daschle ignored the advice and took the floor Wednesday.

Reaction came swiftly.

Outrage? Looks like it was planned to us.

Great letter Rintense. Daschle is even worse than I thought! What a complete and total scum. The other moron who should be lambasted by us is Dana Milbank of the WP. He's the idiot that wrote the inaccurate piece.

God, I hate the press AND TOM DASCHLE!!
