The dimmest bulb in the series lights the way

Why is it that Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith is such a big? When Democrat Harry Reid ascended to be leader of the Senate, nary a word was mentioned about HIS Mormon faith. But then really, unless you’re some crooked Nevada land owner in need of some quick rezoning legislation, or one of Harry’s progenies incapable of securing employment on your own, could Harry be any more irrelevant? He’s nowhere to be found in the order of succession to the presidency and has accomplished next to nothing as senate “leader.”

But Harry talks…a lot. When SecDef Rumsfeld was using minimal forces in Iraq in an effort to get the Iraqis to stand up and take charge on their own, Harry was calling for Rumsfeld’s firing and more troops in Iraq. When Bush fired Rumsfeld and deployed more troops, Harry said the surge had failed before the troops were even in place and demanded that Iraqis stand up and take charge on their own.

Now, as it becomes apparent that the surge is working, Harry is leading a new Democrat strategy. Many of the Democrat kooks are already playing the, hear no good news, see no good news, speak no good news about Iraq game. The even kookier are playing that game plus a nastier game still, savage the messenger.

Harry has already called General Petraeus incompetent. That’s sort of like Mike Nifong questioning Perry Mason’s lawyering skills, or Mike Vick questioning PETA’s dedication to preventing animal cruelty, or Barry Bonds calling Hank Aaron a cheater. Harry, like most politicians, knows about as much about the military as he does about earning an honest living – next to nothing.

Were I Harry, I’d demand closed door hearings. General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker will make Harry, RC Durbin, J Rockhead, Shrill and the other Democrats look dumber than Chuck box o’ rocks Hagle in an open hearing. The reason is simple, by a factor of between 3 and 10, Petraeus and Crocker will be the two smartest guys in any room otherwise full of politicians and MSM morons. I can’t wait for Jack the ass Murtha’s questions about a strategic redeployment to “nearby” Okinawa.

The funny thing is that pols comes off like an six year old trying to school dad on the finer points of baseball because the boy just finished his first year of t-ball. The boy, based on his experience, thinks he knows everything, but nearly everyone else knows better.

If I were GWB I would have the good general show up unannounced say...Tuesday Sept 7th and say he caught an earlier flight and is ready to report. If a particular pol was not there I would not worry about it. It would be a Tuesday and where should our pols be on a Tuesday? Otherwise this "reporting" session on Sept 15 will find our congressional floor littered with peacock feathers for all the preening. The other problem will be the slipping and sliding as the tears cascade down onto the hallowed floors as each left-wing libber reads a fake letter from the mother of their own pacifistic Sgt York. Finally I would have a tent set up for the good general outside congress so that he could recieve a good de-lousing and shower up. I figure it will about 230 to 1. I will take the good general in this fight. The Griffin.
