Rep. Kingston (R) Should Apologize for his IED Comment
Here's what Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) said about Democrats:

"The Democrats' honeymoon is fixing to end. It's going to explode like an IED."


http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/01/AR2007040100766_2.html?nav=hcmodule

Nice. Our soldiers in Iraq are being killed and maimed by real IED's and Kingston thinks it's funny to use them to score political points. If a Democrat had said that, it would instantaneously be at the top of the Drudge Report, every Fox News commenter from Brit Hume to John Gibson would be demanding a retraction, and, inevitably, it would then become a story in the so-called respectable media.

But, since he's a Republican, no one notices. Go figure. Kingston should apologize.

1. Kingston is an idiot
and an earlier post here gave his email address so we could object. Maybe you can come up with that address also?

4. The problem with email addresses
If you are not a person from the state he is representative of the email is rejected. What you should do is give a zip code so we can fake an address.

5. BAD taste.
Yes, he should most definitely apologize for that.
