Chimp admits to using political capital to kill our troops. Oops!
Edited on Tue Mar-21-06 04:32 PM by BuyingThyme
Yes, he said many stupid things today, but do you remember back when it was taboo for American politicians to admit to utilizing politics to send Americans to die? No longer.

Today, when asked to reflect back on his post-reelection contention that he had "earned capital in the campaign," Chimpy bragged, "I'd say I'm spending that capital on the war."

That’s right. Your daughters, sons, aunts, uncles, mother, fathers, and friends are dying and killing not to protect Americans, but to satisfy the political agenda of a Chimp.

Yes, I know, you already knew that, but today the Chimp admitted it!

From the record:

"What bothers me is when people are irresponsibly using their positions and playing politics," Mr. Bush added. "That's exactly what is taking place in America."

Vice President Dick Cheney denounced Bush’s critics as "reprehensible," saying they were "playing politics in the middle of a war..."

"This whole notion that because we haven't found {weapons of mass destruction} one or two weeks after war has ceased is just playing politics, and I think it's shameful," Mr. DeLay said.

1. The appalled expressions of the press gaggle today.
Stop him before he truths again. :(
