The Norm Coleman Quote of the week [View All]

and the subject of my weekly email to the weasel.

I was listening to Minnesota Public Radio today. They were doing a story about the 2nd Minnesotan to be killed in Iraq and had an audio clip from the Senator from Bushco commenting on it. Fortunately, the quote is also out on their website so I was able to copy it hear for your enjoyment.

U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., says his heart goes out to Hellerman's family. Coleman says every death is a great tragedy but that the numbers need to be considered in context.

"It hasn't been massive casualities. This is not Vietnam. We lost 3,000 people in one day in the World Trade Center. We lost hundreds in a bombing in Bali," Coleman said. "The fact is - we are still engaged in a war, there's no question about that and it's an ongoing war and it's a war against terrorism. We have made great gains. There are more killings in Washington, DC than there are in Iraq."

In my email to Normie, I copied his quote and added:

I'm sure it comes as a great comfort to those who have had a loved one killed or maimed as a result of Bush's lies to know there are more killings in D.C.

What really amazes me is that anyone who has their lips so firmly attached to Bush's butt can open their mouth wide enough to make such a stupid and insensitive comment.
