I have no earthly idea why, but the President came to my town today, the most Democratic city in the country. And he said something stupid and disingenuous:
With troops in harm’s way in Iraq and Afghanistan, Bush said Congress should move to approve a spending bill for the Defense Department before members embark on their August recess.
“They need to exercise their responsibility and get this defense bill passed. There’s time to do it,” Bush said. “I’ll hang around if they want me to get the bill passed.”
Harry Reid heard about this idiotic blather and responded.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) characterized Bush’s speech as “simply the latest example of the president shamelessly hiding behind our brave troops in an effort to distract attention from his failed national security record.”
No respect, no quarter. Nicely done.
