disappointed by Democrat Sanchez on tonight's "Scarborough Country"

On tonight's "Scarborough Country" (hosted by former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough) one segment had Dean supporter Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (D-California) opposite a Republican strategist.

The Republican strategist said a dozen times "Dean is soft on Usama" and Sanchez never replied.

She should have said George W. is soft on Usama.

George W. first helped the bin Laden family leave America without thorough questioning, then let Usama escape Tora Bora through bad strategy, and then withdrew US troops who were looking for Usama in Afghanistan to send the troops to Iraq.

1. "Soft on Usama"?

Wow. What irony.
Either the Republican knew that bin Laden was already being held captive, or he/she was living in another world.

2. I think the Republican strategist just took

I think the Republican strategist just took bizzare pleasure in distorting Dean's comment in answer to "What punishment should Usama get?" that people in executive power shouldn't publicly declare verdicts before a trial.
