*Beep**beep* backing up!!-Ohio Colonel says he never mentioned Murtha

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."

Asked to respond on Monday, the congresswoman's office said only, "Mrs. Schmidt's statement was never meant to disparage Congressman Murtha."

2. Are you sure?
You mean Ms. Schmidt lied? While she was wearing flag clothes?

16. No kidding. I mean she is soooooo patriotic because she was
wearing flag colors. Of course it's so American of her to disparge a combat vet as a coward for his opinion. She is one sick bitch.

10. This is what her 83rd day in Congress
Don't be surprised to see the Republicans publicly herald her in some way or for her to get lucky and pull the prized office spot out of a hat (ala Katherine Harris).
