Pond Scum
From the Washington Times:
Rep. Jim McDermott, Washington Democrat, said in Baghdad yesterday that he believes President Bush would lie to the nation to win support for a war against Saddam Hussein.

"I think the president would mislead the American people," Mr. McDermott said on ABC's "This Week" about the president's campaign for support for a military campaign against Iraq.

In interviews on political talk shows yesterday, Mr. McDermott and Rep. David E. Bonior, Michigan Democrat, who also was in Baghdad, denounced the Bush administration while saying nothing negative about Saddam.

...

On ABC yesterday, interviewer George Stephanopoulos pointedly asked the two Democratic congressmen why "should we take the Iraqis at their word they have a decade-long record of denying inspectors access and deceiving U.N. inspectors."

Mr. Bonior responded: "We could go back and play the blame game here until the moon comes out. But that's not going to do us any good."
These boys are well known for never having met an anti-American thug they didn't like. But do they have to swap spit with them on national TV?
