If there is a prize for being the most insensitive ass in the world, we have a winner...check that...
a loser:
During an election debate at the weekend in the outskirts of Chicago, Peter Roskam, the Republican candidate for Illinois's sixth district, trotted out the familiar line that his Democratic opponent wanted America to "cut and run" from Iraq.
And here is his Democratic opponent, Tammy Duckworth, after she lost her legs in Iraq:
Said Duckworth:
His opponent, Tammy Duckworth, a former National Guard pilot who lost both her legs in Iraq last year when her helicopter was shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade, was visibly angry at the exchange. "I just could not believe he would say that to me," said Ms Duckworth, who now walks on artificial legs with the help of a cane. "I have risked my life to serve my country and you cannot question my patriotism."
There's not much else to say to this, except I think Keith Olbermann may have his "worst person in the world"...forever.
