By now, almost everyone has heard Daschle’s odious remarks regarding Bush and diplomacy, but just in case you have not, here they are again one more time:
“I’m saddened,” Daschle, D-South Dakota, said in a speech to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. “Saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy that we’re now forced to war. Saddened that we have to give up one life because this president couldn’t create the kind of diplomatic effort that was so critical for our country.”
Predictably, everyone in the Republican party exploded with anger, as they should have- Daschle is clearly being a partisan fool. However, the best response to Daschle so far has been from Rick Santorum:
“I think Senator Daschle clearly articulated the French position, and I just don’t think that is how most Americans see it.”
