First Murtha steps forward and shows commanding leadership, that despite appearing to be teflon, gets sniped at by the right anyways (cue wicked witch of the bicycle theme). That shit backfires and lingers as the messenger is not only killed, but comes out smelling like a liar. [...] […] This just keeps getting better and better by the day.

Not only did the freshman Congresswoman from Ohio put her foot in her mouth, she also lied in the process! What a goof. The Cincy Enquirer has an article that outlines how Colonel Bubp did indeed call Rep. Schmidt, but did NOT ask her to call Murtha or anyone else a coward: Danny Bubp, a freshman state representative who is a colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve, told The Enquirer that he never mentioned Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., by name when talking with Schmidt, and he would never call a fellow Marine a coward. [...] […] Let’s add insult to injury shall we?

There has been indeed much Schadenfreude recently. I'm glad someone had not seen the clip yet, as that story was a bit old when I blogged on it. Been traveling a ton and just recently back from Montreal. Hope to see you at the next DL! I'll be keeping it up for sure ;-) Marty! Hey man. Glad to see you stop by.

Hope to see you at the next DL! I’ll be keeping it up for sure ;-)

We don't get in any TV stations, and I had not seen the infuriating clip of Jean Schmidt until I caught it on your site today. I think your analysis of the strategy seems just right. It is satisfying (admittedly in a political Schadenfreude way) to see these idiotic, appeal-to-the-lowest-common-denominator-of-the-electorate moves blowing up in the Republicans' faces. (another laughable e.g. being Rick Santorum's unbelievably stupid opposition to the honorary citation for Bruce Springsteen because Bruce sang for Kerry/Edwards last year) Anyhow, I hope you keep up the good work of being a voice of rationality in the political badlands of Delaware County.
