Wall Street Journal Demint-ed today. Here's a summary from The Hill:

DeMint singles out U.S. ambassador in op-ed on Honduras
By Michael O'Brien - 10/10/09 01:36 PM ET

The U.S. is virtually alone in its backing for ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) asserted Saturday ... In an op-ed today in the Wall Street Journal, DeMint called out U.S. Ambassador Hugo Llorens and the Obama administration for its support for Zelaya in the wake of a coup earlier this year ... "In a day packed with meetings, we met only one person in Honduras who opposed Mr. Zelaya's ouster" ... DeMint characterized the Obama administration's labeling of Zelaya's overthrow as a coup a "snap decision" ...

2. DeMint, a spectacular idiot. DU'ers from his stiate claim he is called "DeMinted" there.
I guess it has never occurred to him the only people he will EVER meet on an official visit to a coup-controlled government are ALWAYS going to be pro-coup.

Omigod! Swear words don't begin to cover this! What a classic Republican.

3. I have not met one person in the US who is not opposed to Jim DeMint.
