Jean Schmidt LAYING LOW: "Things way too partisan right now."

CINCINNATI -- Jean Schmidt, the freshman congresswoman from Ohio's 2nd District, has kept quiet since her remarks on the floor of the House of Representatives Friday, News 5's John London reported.

Although Schmidt completed her 59th marathon Sunday in Philadelphia, she's not been able to outrun the controversy created by her remarks....

Her local office said Schmidt continues doing the work of her district, while her national office said the situation is "way too partisan right now. Hopefully, when things calm down, we can have a rational discussion," said Barry Bennett, Schmidt's chief of staff.

One woman from Oakley isn't waiting for that day -- she spent part of Monday morning outside Schmidt's congressional office in protest. "Her voice box is full. Her e-mail is full. And I just couldn't sit. I came out here, and I'm just voicing my opinion in a peaceful way," Kristin Kramer said.

There were several articles online in her local area that cracked me up.

I'm wondering if she's gonna survive this...

Gee... I wonder why? It wouldn't have anything to do with her wholly innapropriate and ffensive partisan attack against a Senior Congressman, would it? Fucking disgusting old hag.

Is that her "normal" look?

but I'll make an exception in this case. She looks like beef jerky with a ribbon on top.

eeeew she gives me the creeeeeeeeeeeeps

pure evil wrapped in a 4th of July cheerleader outfit

yuck

She & Dick Cheney would make a perfect couple. :scared:

with an irrational asshole. The woman is an extra crispy bucket of crazy.

:crazy:

proof of irrationality.

First Bush using Vets Day speech in front of vets to make a partisan speech, then doing the same while in front of airmen in Alaska on the way out of town, then the Vice Chickenhawk in a no-press neocon meeting, and each time it's "the other side is unfair and partisan."

That shit's not selling anymore.

do outrageous, outraging stuff.. and then be astonished that people are outraged.

I wanted to know more about what she had to say.

situation - except turn it up a notch.

:sarcasm:

What a miserable, hateful, foolish old crank.

How in the world can she live with herself?











(on edit: typo)

she can't hide. :hide:

Or else, it's the Democrats' fault.

Just like every other Pube in Congress.

What a despicable loathsome creature.

You should put a warning on this...I opened it and it scared the crap outta me. Very scary....:scared:

Cheers!

I can't stand the heat, so I'm getting out of the kitchen?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 - A colonel in the Marine reserves has taken issue with how his views were represented in a Republican attack last week on Representative Murtha.

Speaking on the House floor on Friday, Representative Jean Schmidt, Republican of Ohio, asserted that the colonel had "asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message: that cowards cut and run, marines never do."

But a spokeswoman for the colonel, Danny R. Bubp, said Ms. Schmidt had misconstrued their conversation.

While Mr. Bubp, a Republican member of the Ohio House of Representatives, opposes a quick withdrawal for forces, "he did not mention Congressman Murtha by name nor did he mean to disparage Congressman Murtha," said Karen Tabor, his spokeswoman. "He feels as though the words that Congresswoman Schmidt chose did not represent their conversation."

Thanks for that link, Susan, and welcome to DU!!

I can't help noticing that he doesn't deny saying "cowards cut and run"--he just flaps his little hands and says "oh, I wasn't talking about HIM...." Pansyass.

Well, not like Bubby is such a reliable source...but they are sure bailing on Schmidt. And frankly, her butt should resign over this - what a cold, arrogant woman to make such a statement about a senior statesman in our House of Representatives. This isn't the kind of thing she can walk away from and pretend it's just a little mistake.

Maybe this matching pair of liars, both need to give back their 10 Commandment plaques?

10 Commandment plaques?!!!!! their audacity is truly infinite........

Keith on Countdown tonight.

especially when they're up to their ass in alligators.

That pesky truth'll gitcha every time Jean.

;)

are reacting negativily to her. She deserves it! How dare she! UGH!

If so, someone there should start one on her.
