"Way too partisan now..."

@ 07:53 PM (33 months, 13 days ago)

Rep. Jean Schmidt, the freshman Congresswoman who had her remarks striken from the record last week after calling veteran Congressman John Murtha a coward, has been pretty quiet since the uproar she caused.

Her Washington office says Schmidt is laying low because things are "way too partisan now."

So let me see if I can wrap my beautiful mind around this (to borrow a phrase from Barbara Bush).  Jean Schmidt calls a Congressman who served in Vietnam a coward, simply because he called for redeploying our troops, since it's clear we have not and cannot win in Iraq.

Several days after calling Murtha a coward, Jean Schmidt's minions complain things have gotten way too partisan.  Mmmmm...did it ever occur to them that THEY have helped contribute to the partisan rancor?
