The details are unimportant, it’s all about the symbolism.
[Steny] Hoyer was toe-to-toe with the much shorter Joe Baca , D-Calif., chairman of the Hispanic caucus. According to one Hispanic Democrat, Hoyer jabbed his finger at Baca and yelled, “How dare you destroy this party? This will be the worst loss in 10 years.”
That same Hispanic lawmaker reported that Pelosi said, “You see this on the board? This is against me, this is against me personally.”
Is it me, or is Steny Hoyer starting to lose his cool. He looked like a complete and total idiot on Tuesday when the Republicans PUNKED him on the Cheney impeachment vote. He’s going around providing right wing talking points about how the Iraq surge is working. [Reminder]:
(Reuters) – Seven U.S. personnel were killed in Iraq on Monday, the U.S. military said, making 2007 the deadliest year for U.S. forces in the country.
Nevertheless, Hoyer stands by the decision to invade Iraq.
“Removal of Saddam Hussein was an appropriate policy,” Hoyer said at a breakfast meeting with reporters Thursday sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor. “I still believe that.”
But he added that he would not have voted for it if he had known “how incompetently it would be executed.”
Steny Hoyer is quickly alienating virtually everyone on the left. It’s a good thing he gives money to so many Democrats. That’s the only reason anyone pretends to like the fucktard.
