Mean Jean Schmidt 'APOLOGIZES' for Murtha comment
Edited on Wed Nov-23-05 02:31 AM by Bluebear
She has gone from "laying low" to blaming the media ("I have become the lightning rod because they don't like the message!) to 'apologizing', apparently.





CINCINNATI Nov 22, 2005 — Ohio Republican Jean Schmidt apologized Tuesday for her sharp comments about a fellow congressman's call to immediately pull troops from Iraq, which caused a furor in the U.S. House.

Schmidt was booed off the House floor Friday after she criticized Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., saying that "cowards cut and run, Marines never do."

When Schmidt made the comment, Democrats rose in protest at the suggestion that Murtha, a decorated Vietnam veteran and the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations defense subcommittee, was a coward.Schmidt said the comment came from a conversation with state Rep. Danny Bubp.

"While I strongly disagree with his policy, neither Representative Bubp nor I ever wished to attack Congressman Murtha," she said in a statement. "I only take exception to his policy position." Bubp, also a Republican, has denied discussing Murtha with Schmidt....

I am amazed at what a national story this has become. It was never intended.

I am thankful for the thousands of supportive messages I have received from the people I represent and others across the nation since Friday.

But this story has been way too focused on me, my conviction and word selection. Instead this story should be focused on the extremely poor policy the minority now propose. A policy, I might point out, that through this media storm has now been repudiated by dozens of leading members of the minority.

I have been attacked very personally, continuously since Friday evening. I am quite willing to suffer those attacks if in the end that policy I so strongly oppose is exposed as unsound. First and foremost I support the troops. They dodge bullets and bombs while I duck only hateful words.

Fitting, given that everything coming out of her mouth is a steaming pile.

10. I linked that pic to a friend of mine...
While we were discussing this beauty he saw at work.

His response was essentially, "My boner just died. I had one, and now it's gone."

12. Narcissism...it's all about her. Ford, D, TN freaked, ran across floor.
OK, Harold Ford, D, TN showed me something very serious when he reflexively charged across the floor when he heard that. That's what I like, Democrats that are worked up by this shit, and that's exactly what came out of Schmidt's mouth (like the South Park episode).

She's finished. She should just quit.

Find another vet, shit kicker on OH 2nd district, get a fair vote count (this time), and she's toast.

Thanks for the post.

26. They might be runnin', but...
They wouldn't be "Cuttin" that shit! Is there a ASPCD? Well in this case there should be! Even a die hard battery powered Funbeam Fu?kmaster, would wilt at the sight of that! She's too ugly to even do doggie style, even for an industrail strength Wal-Mart solar powered dildo!

Visions of Smegma danced through my head the first time I saw that WAR face! She could only go un-noticed in a major disaster area.

16. Looks like the Schmidt's hit the fan!
Ohio is in a world of Schmidt if that is the best they can do! The COWARD Danny Bubp is too chicken to stick to the GOP story so he's blaming it ALL on the Lizard Lady! Lizard Lickers-R-Us/Diebold/Blackwell must have selected that geek, like they selected Bush.

The picture above, of the full lizard face caused me to pour hot coffee in my lap and like it! The dog saw it too and he's still over there licking his ass! Willy Dog sez, "Wow that geek looks REALLY Schmidt faced 24/7!"

If they'd send her to Iraq the "bad guys" would :puke: themselves to death and Bush could win his elective war.

32. Wal-Mart ain't got enough bags for either one of them!
I think the swamp water douches have taken their toll on poor Miz. Harris, but I can't imagine what Schmidt did to get that damned ugly! Playing in the interstate traffic, during rush hour, on a holiday, couldn't account for that degree of uglydom. She'd have to fix herself up to look as good as a week old roadkill possum!

43. I drank all of that Visine before I read the directions on the jugs.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I might be drunk but I know a yellow elephant when I see one! Danny Bubp and Bush&Dick are three of a kine, scared somebody will figure out how scared they are. Wars are like an X-Box with those guys. Those Evil Pubbie Princes push the buttons and play with their wee joysticks and the soldiers bleed on, for the GOP's Sins.

The GOPers play "Politics" 24/7 with our kid's lives, but we all know now, that "Politics," is only "Politics," when a democrat plays.

The people who voted for Ugly-Jean Schmidt had their heads so far up their @$$es they couldn't 'see the light'! * STEW-PID Fools! The Lord has stricken the entire republican party STEW-PID, I Rectum!

to celebrate our good food found here in the stores. Other Peeps in other Nations don have as much as we do in their stores. Have a Happy Day stuffing yo faces......

BushCo would do well if he took Schmidt out of the Congress and sign her up in the American Republican Guard(Brown Shirt Unit #768.09) to scour the country side scaring the schmidt out of peeps into the Pub party. She has a face to make Babe(Fargo) turn BLUE.......

Human eyballs aren't made to take in something that damned ugly. That is some ugly @$$ed Schmidt! The UFO guys would haul @$$ if they landed in her yard! And if she took them to her leader, the ETs would laugh at the whole human race. The ETs would really be pissed when they went to fill up.

We got a 200 pound turkey for a leader????

The ETs would nuke this whole planet if they saw Harris, Karen, Jean, and Babs with the Turkey.....

They would know they are the Cancer and its best to sterilize this planet by taking out Humanity and not even save one bit of DNA...we are that dangerous....

The Better Homes and Planets Ladies...if they come to see Earth...they would concur and vote to WEED US OUT TOO. They would look at Humanity as a Noxious, Toxic WEED.

Come, we go Home Depot...get ROUND UP.

21. This woman's a freak
She's just like any other rw idiot.

(snip)
"I don't listen to the news in D.C. because it's not my news environment," said Schmidt, who conducted the interview with The Enquirer with her chief of staff, Barry Bennett, sitting nearby. "I watch something light-hearted, and then I go to bed."

:wtf:

Schmidt said Tuesday that when she delivered the "cowards cut and run" message from Ohio Rep. Danny Bubp, an Adams County Republican who is a Marine Corps Reserves colonel, she did not know Murtha was a Marine and said she does not think that Bubp did, either.

It's typical of the re:puke:'s to attack someone they don't know.

39. when an apology is not really
an apology ---

"I am amazed at what a national story this has become. It was never intended."

translated: I didn't MEAN to make an ass out myself and my party! I was trying to get the OTHER guy!


"But this story has been way too focused on me, my conviction and word selection. Instead this story should be focused on the extremely poor policy the minority now propose. A policy, I might point out, that through this media storm has now been repudiated by dozens of leading members of the minority."

translated: You see, I was only trying to talk about bad policy ideas, and if the media would just focus on those instead of my comments.... oh, that damn liberal media.

I hope she loses her seat when she is up for election next time. She clearly demonstrates lack of conviction and fortitude to "stay the course." She should find another line of work. If one wants to be a crook, at least adopt and hold positions of a crook and fight for them.
