It seems that on further reflection Ohio state rep. Danny Bubp doesn't want to be lynched on the same tree as his (former?) partner-in-shame US. Rep. Jean (I stole the election from a real war hero) Schmidt. Schmidt, most notable for stealing jump-suits from Mary Lou Retton, displayed the balls we all suspected she had last Friday by taking the stump during the Republican's Cut & Run proposal. Using the clever "I didn't say this but a real US Marine did" technique, she called our most distinquished Democratic hawk a "coward". It was obvious that just about the entire assembly shit their pants that moment but the US Marine in question apparently has had a delayed-reaction bowel movement and is now disowning Mrs. Schmidt's meaning if not his words.
I will let this little blurb from the
NY Times
speak for itself:
Colonel Denies Disparaging Murtha
By The New York Times
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 - A colonel in the Marine reserves has taken issue with how his views were represented in a Republican attack last week on Representative Murtha.
Speaking on the House floor on Friday, Representative Jean Schmidt, Republican of Ohio, asserted that the colonel had "asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message: that cowards cut and run, marines never do."
But a spokeswoman for the colonel, Danny R. Bubp, said Ms. Schmidt had misconstrued their conversation.
While Mr. Bubp, a Republican member of the Ohio House of Representatives, opposes a quick withdrawal for forces, "he did not mention Congressman Murtha by name nor did he mean to disparage Congressman Murtha," said Karen Tabor, his spokeswoman. "He feels as though the words that Congresswoman Schmidt chose did not represent their conversation."
Asked to respond on Monday, the congresswoman's office said only, "Mrs. Schmidt's statement was never meant to disparage Congressman Murtha."
Oh, I get it. So Jean and the Bubpster are having typical Republican email sex:
Schmidt:Danny, can you believe "Blacky" is helping us repress the voter representation of "Blacky"s? LOL!!!
Bubpster: "Blacky" repressing "Blackies"...LMAO!!! Jean, you are a real american hero. Not like those commie pinko Democrat bastards. If Al Qaida ever invades southern Ohio you can bet this Marine will never cut and run. Congressman John Murtha of Pennsyvania CERTAINLY wouldn't either. Oh, and give Murtha a message: my kids love his Wilfred Brimley imitation.
Schmidt: Hey, I should be seeing him tonight. I'll pass on the message. Do you have something I could write it down with so I get it straight.
