According to South Dakota Republican Senator John Thune (who was elected in 2004 with help from a gay male prostitute), Republicans on Capitol Hill are "scared spitless":
And leaving Republican leaders confronting the reality that nervous party members, uncertain of Mr. Bush’s handling of the war and their own party’s legislative appeal, are no longer so tightly bound to the cause.Scared spitless because they might lose their seats. What a bunch of wimps. Here's an idea for Thune and his fellow Republicans: Spend some time in Bush's war in Baghdad. Not in the protected Green Zone, but on the front line. If you're lives -- not your political careers -- were on the line, then, you might be legitimately scared spitless.
“Everybody is scared spitless,” Mr. Thune, the South Dakota senator, said.
Instead, you're all scared spitless because you've all been spineless -- supporting Bush's war without question. Pathetic.
