"To add insult to injury, this is done while the president is on foreign."
I think Hastert gets the prize...

"They would prefer that the United States surrender to the terrorists who would harm innocent Americans," Hastert said. "To add insult to injury, this is done while the president is on foreign soil." President Bush is at a summit in Asia.

2. Perfect, Where is tricky Dick?
He should come out of the bunker to defend his side, but he wont. Because then he'll have to answer questions about scooter-bitch.

(snip)
Congressman John Murtha, Democrat of Pennsylvania, is a retired Marine colonel, decorated Vietnam veteran, ranking member of the House defense appropriations subcommittee, longtime supporter of the military and a noted hawk who was an early advocate of the U.S. incursion into Iraq - a man, in short, none would call faint of heart. When such a figure declares that the time has come for America to turn tail and bug out, his views carry more weight than do the similar assessments of the Dennis Kuciniches and Barbara Boxers and Cindy Sheehans of the world.

But, sadly, he is as wrongheaded as they are, and Murtha might as well be sending up the white flag for all the terrorist gangs to see. Doubtless there is much rejoicing in Al Qaeda's rat holes this day over still another encouraging cut-and-run signal from U.S. shores that maybe someday soon, with U.S. troops pulled out, the rodents will have Iraq - and beyond - all to themselves.

The Daily News, and in particular, Mort Zuckerman, can blow it out their ass.

9. What's really bad is dissing domestic things FROM foreign soil...
... which Chimpy has done by railing against Democrats while he's been abroad.
