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”.
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??!!
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.
