In all seriousness, this may be a turning point. Murtha has said the unthinkable: "It is evident that continued military action is not in the best interests of the United States of America, the Iraqi people or the Persian Gulf Region." Yep. We've made a mess alright. But our continued presence is making things worse --- for everybody.
And the Republicans are predictably lashing out wildly with shrill accusations of "surrender." They are getting very nervous. This isn't 2002 and the codpiece isn't riding an 80% approval rating. The GOP still haven't yet absorbed the fact that his manufactured popularity was always a mile wide and an eighth of an inch thick.
Their patented jingo schtick is suddenly as starkly out of fashion as The Macarena. Woodwardian Bushism is revealed to be nothing more than a fad that people are now vaguely embarrassed to have embraced in public.
The White House response to Murtha? Smear! Smear for your lives!
Press Secretary Scott McClellan says the eve of fresh Iraqi elections "is not the time to surrender to the terrorists." ...
...McClellan says the administration finds the change of heart "baffling". He says Murtha seems to have endorsed the views of anti-war filmmaker "Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic party."
Yeah those ex-combat Marines are all a bunch of tree-hugging liberal hippies. Dang, Unkie Karl really is off his game these days...

When he did backup on the Morrissey song I thought immediately of you :) Of course that was also the ep he appeared mostly naked in, so it really worked for me too...
