The White House response to Murtha was blistering. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said, "It is baffling that he is endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic Party."

Presidential counsellor Dan Bartlett defended the attack on Murtha by saying even some Democrats appeared uncomfortable with Murtha's position.

"He has come to a conclusion that puts him at the extreme side of ... his party that is fairly vocally represented by the likes of Michael Moore," he said.

A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll this week said 63 percent of Americans oppose Bush's handling of the Iraq war, and 52 percent say troops should be pulled out now or within 12 months.

1. How childish

Can't he even come up with a decent lie?

2. Yet more proof McClellan has no idea what's going on.

He thought Rove and Libby weren't involved in the leaking of Plame. Now he thinks Murtha is acting against the US. I say - McClellan, get a clue, you fool.

STATEMENT BY MICHAEL MOORE

Unfortunately, the President doesn't understand that it is mainstream middle America who has turned against him and his immoral war and that it is I and the Democrats who represent the mainstream. It is Mr. Bush who is the extremist.
