BREAKING: BRIT HUME FINALLY GETS A FUCKING CLUE!
Brit Hume On Walter Reed: ‘It Looks Terrible’ For The Bush Administration, ‘Which Is The Problem’

This morning on Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume spoke about the Walter Reed scandal in entirely political terms, saying “the problem” is that it “looks terrible” for the administration.

Hume called the neglect and deplorable conditions at the military hospital a “potential” political firestorm, but said that the “administration did what it did to try to get it over with, and it may well have succeeded.”

Hume suggested that if Democrats had not taken control of Congress in November’s election, the Bush administration would not have demanded resignations from the Army Secretary and the chief of Walter Reed. “This is an administration which is known or had been known for sticking by people even when they were embattled.”

NPR’s Mara Liasson responded to Hume’s comments: “I think, you know, to say it looks bad, it also is bad. Those pictures were horrible. These are people — nobody who is being treated for any kind of injury should have to live in that condition, let alone people who just fought in a war for our country.”

Clinton invented soldiers. Nope, that won't do.

Clinton built Walter Reed. Hmmmmm

I know! Clinton's having sex with all the military nurses, and that's keeping them away from their jobs.

Damn that Clinton!

3. Oh, Mara got an even more of a clue finally
The problem is not 'the scandal.' It's not that it 'looks' terrible. It's not the 'political firestorm.' It's that our wounded veterans are suffering needlessly. I could give a sh*t what it does to anyone politically. I just want our wounded taken care of properly.

And that they are now being muzzled and punished for speaking out. That needs to be just as big a story.

13. Business as usual: Troops suffering and dying in service to Holy Profits
It's the duty of very red-blooded paytriot to shoulder the burden in service to more wealth for the wealthy.
:grr:

15. It “looks terrible” for the administration
Yes it does. 'Support the troops' now looks like meaningless spin. Fugg Bushco and Brit Hume.

16. What a mealy-mouthed reply from NPR. Hesitant, "I think", "people" instead of "SOLDIERS".
WHAT WILL IT TAKE??
