Sure the repuks will not get negative; they will just replace the N-word with the T-word. They have to be losing it to do something this stupid!



Snip,
Education Secretary Rod Paige says he chose poor words in calling the nation's largest teachers union a "terrorist organization,"

His words startled members of his audience, triggered outrage from prominent Democrats and deepened the divide between the country's top education official and its largest union.

"I can tell you what my first response was: Scary. That's really frightening," said Diana Garchow, a special-education teacher at Highland Elementary School in Bakersfield, Calif. "It's scary that you can't voice an opinion in this country without being called a terrorist. ... I don't care if it was a joke or what it was, that was a totally inappropriate comment."

1. At the very LEAST...

It was the "joke that backfired"...and I've heard some sick ones before, but THAT one...:mad:

Dub really deserves to lose every single teacher's vote in this nation, and he can thank Sec. Paige for that...

Of course, with No Child Left Behind being completely "left behind" financially by his Federal budget, Dub deserves to lose their votes, anyway...:eyes:

B-)

2. David Gergen was calling for his head this morning.

In interview with CNN's Soledad O'Brien he seemed very angry.

3. The Republican Party is a terrorist organization

and that's NOT a "poor choice of words."
