Roy Blunt Attacks John Murtha on Situation Room

Fri Nov 18, 2005 at 04:37:23 PM PDT

Just when you thought the GOP could not go any lower they dig themselves into a deeper hole.  On the program The Situation Room, House Majority Leader Roy Blunt called Congressman John Murtha "the poster boy for Al Jazeera."  Ironically, he made this comment just SECONDS after he called Murtha an honorable public service.  GOP doublespeak at it's finest.

As someone who has friends who fought in Vietnam and are fighting in Iraq, I find Mr. Blunt's statements repulsive.

If anyone can get the transcripts from the Situation Room, please post them so we can all see exactly what he said and we don't take his comment out of context.

Contact Roy Blunt and tell him to apologize
