Dear Rep. Joe Walsh, when your buddies have abandoned you, time to hit the lifeboat

IL-08 (R, Rep. Joe Walsh): Walsh complained recently that Democratic nominee Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq war veteran and former Veterans Affairs official, uses her service as a way to duck political issues. She would have to address issues more if Walsh didn't keep sticking his foot in his mouth. The seat gave President Obama more than 61 percent of the vote in 2008, and 45 percent of its residents are nonwhite. As one of Walsh's colleagues might say, the cake is baked.

were those self-professed "real Americans" in the audience who came to hear him, and either didn't speak up, or actually chuckled along with his comments.
