Baghdad Jim McDermott Says Bush Timed Hussein’s Capture
2003-12-16
The below entry further highlights why the Democrats will drive themselves over a cliff in 2004:
From Andrew Sullivan:
YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP: Fresh from Howard Dean’s raising of the question of whether president Bush had been tipped off in advance by the Saudis about 9/11 comes Democrat Jim McDermott, not exactly a stranger to conspiracy theories. He tells a radio show in Seattle that the U.S. military could have found the former Iraqi dictator "a long time ago if they wanted." Asked if he thought the weekend capture was timed to help Bush, McDermott chuckled and said, "Yeah. Oh, yeah." He added, "There’s too much by happenstance for it to be just a coincidental thing." When the interviewer asked again if he meant to imply the Bush administration timed the capture for political reasons, McDermott said: "I don’t know that it was definitely planned on this weekend, but I know they’ve been in contact with people all along who knew basically where he was. It was just a matter of time till they’d find him."

You begin to wonder if some Democrats have gone nuts - politically as well as psychologically.

Drudge Report covers some Democrats denouncing this nut, which is a good thing, but it doesn’t hide the fact that a significant portion of the Democratic Party is in major misstep with the rest of this country and will pay dearly at the polls.

Yeah. But this nut keeps getting routinely reelected, doesn't he?

#5  If Bush had planned it he would have timed the thing after the Democratic convention confirmed Dean as the candidate and things were a bit closer to election time.

#4  According to a Washington Post story (heard this on the radio; haven't found the stoyr), Kerry blamed this year's flu on Bush. Apparently it's Bush's fault the pharmaceutical companies only made 83 million doses, despite the peak usage in the past being 70 million.

The Donks are going crazy, and if it weren't bad for the country, it would be funny.

#2  Ahh!! Baghdad Jim! As I recall he is the one who 'leaked' those illegally taped cellphone conversations between Newt and someone in Florida to the press. As I recall the couple who taped the conversation were wide-eyed dyed-in-the-wool democrats who were 'vacationing' in Florida after addending a democratic function in washington and 'accidentally' taped the cellphone conversation (yeah... right....).
