How Many More Republican Apologies Will We Hear Tonight?

[ruggerson]

The fuckers should just get a pre printed card they can stand up and wave:

"So sorry. I didn't mean to smear you in the viciously cowardly way I just did.

I retract my venomous bile. Please strike my remarks. My bad."

3. Some idiot from Indiana had to apologize to Murtha

after referring to "Murtha's resolution" when it was, as we all know, Hunter's.

5. The Indiana Rep. was

Stephen Buyer which does not mind telling you that he was a veteran of Desert Storm. The highlight of the whole evening was when the lady Schmidt of Ohio was forced to apoligize for her comments.

4. Several. Here's a brief summary on that moment:

The fiery, emotional debate climaxed when Rep. Jean Schmidt, R-Ohio, the most junior member of the House, told of a phone call she received from a Marine colonel.

"He asked me to send Congress a message - stay the course. He also asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message - that cowards cut and run, Marines never do," Schmidt said.

Democrats booed and shouted her down - causing the House to come to a standstill.

Rep. Harold Ford, D-Tenn., charged across the chamber's center aisle screaming that it was an uncalled for personal attack. "You guys are pathetic. Pathetic," yelled Rep. Marty Meehan, D-Mass.
