First, I had never heard of Congressman Bachus before this. Now lots of people have heard of him. You're welcome, Congressman, glad I could help get your Q rating up.

By the way, are we sure he's really a Congressman? Maybe he's just a guy with a fax machine. You know how fact checking goes these days.

I could go on and on, but this is too ridiculous, so I'll just say this: I'm not a congressman, I'm a comedian. There's nothing I can really do to help or hurt our troops (although anyone who's watched my shows or read my books in the last twelve years knows I'm a pretty ardent supporter of the military).

But a congressman, there's someone who can actually DO SOMETHING to help our troops. In fact, a case could be made that it's a lot more treasonous for someone in his position to be wasting his time yelling at a comedian. Shouldn't he be training his outrage at such problems as troops not having enough armor? Wouldn't that ACTUALLY support our troops more? And citizens of this country who claim to support our troops should write this man and tell him GET BACK TO WORK! DO SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO SOLDIERS IN IRAQ!

1. Good comeback, Bill!

2. Indeed!

Maher prolly got a real good chuckle out of this one...

3. Sounds like someone should send this to John McCain.

After all, didn't he point out that Congress does not want to get in the business of running professional sports leagues - shortly after they proposed sweeping drug testing legislation for the four major leagues.

How many people died because Bill Maher made some remarks about this admin's record on the military? How many high school students die each year because of illegal steroids? My guess it's not enough to warrant the exposure these idiots give it.

4. His first three lines sum up my view on this exactly ...

"grandstanding" reich-winger.
