Rep. Jean Schmidt: Please go away

I note with glee that this is the very same harridan who was challenged by a returning Iraq war veteran in a presumed “safe” Republican district. A veteran who ran largely (according to reports/distortions) on a platform of “Bush Bites It!” and came within a whisker of carrying this “safe” seat.

In the words of St. Robert of Hibbing: “Its a hard rain’s gonna fall”.

He better, considering it was Murtha who helped Cheney get some street cred with the Armed Forces back during the Bush (Sr.) Administration.

I have no doubts that this is the only thing preventing Cheney from gleefully slinging mud at Murtha now.

Yesterday I saw a short clip on some news show in which Rep Murtha said that Schmidt had sent him a letter of apology and that he accepted it. That’s completely unfair! She calls him a coward on the floor of the House with the cameras rolling, but she apologizes privately??!!

Just to provide a reference for the bit I mentioned before (about the Al Franken Show quoting from her first speech as a member of the House):

If he can get past Brown in the primaries Hackett’s painted a big ol’ target on Mike DeWine next year, too.

Hope she’s wearing her good shoes. Well, red does go with that outfit…

Did O’Leilly have anything to say about this in his “fair and balanced” reporting?

Her colleagues obviously stopped lending her their shoes. Probably had to leave 'em on the back porch for days to get the smell of Schmidt out of 'em.

Note To People Named Schmidt: This is not a denigration of you, of your family heritage, nor of Schmidt, the Beer that You Like Best, the Brew that Grew with the Great Northwest (which Papa Doug used to read live commercials for as booth announcer at KGLO-TV, Mason City, in 1957).
Note on Above Note: For purposes of this discussion, Rep. Jean Schmidt is not to be considered a person.

As others noticed before, she is actually Frau Blucher!

[The house whinnies]

What is wrong with those representatives!?! * :slight_smile:

*Knowing the response, it is obvious that some Republicans also did the whinnying too.
