Republicans Turn To Schmidt

Differences over policy on the Iraq war ignited an explosion of angry words and personal insults on the House floor yesterday when the chamber's newest member (above) suggested that a decorated war veteran was a coward for calling for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops.

As Democrats physically restrained one colleague, who appeared as if he might lose control of himself as he rushed across the aisle to confront Republicans with a jabbing finger, they accused Republicans of playing political games with the war.

Here's the story. Basically, Republicans are playing fucking bullshit political games to keep a shit war going. Shit head calls a Vet a coward. Their message to the troops: Keep fighting, keep getting killed and maimed -- we support you!
