Quote of the Day: On The Iraq War

“I can’t help but feel through eyes of a combat-wounded Marine in Vietnam, if someone was shot, you tried to save his life. . . . While you were in combat, you had a sense of urgency to end the slaughter, and around here we don’t have that sense of urgency…To me, the administration does not act like there’s a war going on. The Congress certainly doesn’t act like there’s a war going on. If you’re raising money to keep the majority, if you’re thinking about gay marriage, if you’re doing all this other peripheral stuff, what does that say to the guy who’s about ready to drive over a land mine?”
– Representative Wayne T. Gilchrest (Md.)

   Being from the people’s republic of Maryland, I don’t put stock in much of what Gilchrest has to say.

   He is pretty much an idiot.

   Hey, I’ve quoted three Republicans this week on this blog that I agreed with…isn’t there an award out there for liberals that do that? :p
