Brian Baird (WA-03) sits on the Budget, Science and Technology, and Transportation and Infrastructure committees. He doesn’t sit on Armed Services, Foreign Relations, or Homeland Security. His only military experience is as a civilian psychiatrist at Veteran’s hospitals. He says the surge is working. Well, Rep. Pete Stark (CA-13) has some choice words for him.
Democrats opposed to the war held their tongues about Baird last week. But on Thursday, Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., told Congressional Quarterly: “I’ll give Brian a gun and let him go to Iraq and shoot whoever he wants.”
When asked about Stark’s comment, Baird said, “What was that all about?”
Stark is right to be angry. But his anger should probably be extended to this:
Meantime, Baird has so many requests for interviews that he already has offered a two-hour media availability Monday, after Petraeus and the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, testify before the House.
The media enables this war by knocking down the doors to put Brian Baird on the air.
Brian Baird’s campaign slogan for ’08 just became
“Brian Baird! Troop Killer!”
Let’s see how that works out for him.
What the f*ck was Baird thinking?

A professor of what? Certainly not the truth.

Why should Dems support this bozo? It’s clear that he traded his brains for a bowl of porridge. Bush Dogs like this need to be challenged and taught to sit like good doggies.
I think Nancy may need to sit down with Brian and explain how things are done…
He’s either a dunce or really appreciates the limelight.
