Maligning Murtha and The Word Games Politicians Play

The Washington Post has an excellent story on how the orchestrated attacks on Congressman John P. Murtha (Democrat of Pennsylvania, a Vietnam combat veteran who spent 37 years in the Marines and is one of the most respected military authorities in the House) have proceeded and notes a rhetorical device increasingly employed by politicians in attacking the former Marine.

We are all free to have a difference of opinion, in this case I believe, a bit more respect should be called for than that shown by maddam, "Mean Jean."

Ah, Thanksgiving! I'm an asexual celibate with no family or friends. Will be spending T-day alone in my room. But at least I have turkey hot dogs to look forward to!
