2 This is f***ing unbelievable. I've never seen such a blatant, foolish, egregious case of spin. This wouldn't even be fit to run on the OpEd page.

3 Ludicrous - Even Rangel, the sponsor, voted NO.

The only "Yes" votes were 2 Dems, John Murtha and Fortney "Pete" Stark....

If my folks had named me "Fortney" I'd have "issues" too....

4 Incidentally, the two idiots who voted for this were John Murtha, D-PA, and Pete Stark, D-CA.

6 Atomic!

Ol' "Fort" is in a hyper-safe seat out here in Caleftiland...

My Congressman is Rohrabacher, thank God.

Know anything about Murtha? What is his district like?

8 BigEd--Thanks for the great link! I see "Kerry" is, once again, missing from the list. He's doing one hell of a job representing his constituents in MA.

9 Dar - I'd like to nail Kerry too, but that is the vote in the HOUSE...

Murtha's website is all flag waving and patriotic. One can only wonder if he failed to get the memo that Rangel was joking.

Stark is from SF area. Need I say more?

We can thank these guys for allowing the soundbite that Dem's sponsored the bill and only dem's voted for it.

13 Kerry Cheerleader Times staff writer Matea Gold in Tipton, Iowa, contributed to this report.

Googled her name and found this interesting article in which she is mentioned in conjunctino with a Kerry story: Atrocious Reporting Showcased in 'The [Baltimore] Sun'

15 I really wonder if the 'internationalist' publishers who demand America be accountable to the world remember what happened to Julius Streicher and Hans Fritzsche? Now there is a precedent by an international body they can hang by.

17 Murtha is Pennsylvania's Prince of Pork. He'll be elected for at least three terms after he dies.
