Sen. Robert Byrd, in the well (not the sewer well, which would have been fitting for the former Klansmen) of the Senate, on 6 May:
“To me, it is an affront to the Americans killed or injured in Iraq for the President to exploit the trappings of war for the momentary spectacle of a speech.”
and
“I believe that our military forces deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and not used as stage props to embellish a presidential speech.”
Have the Democrats become the Grouch Marx Party? Who are we to believe? The left-wing, or our lying eyes?
The faces of sheer exploitation. It makes me want to cry, they look so abused. How dare Bush?

Wonder how many military ballots Byrd’s party will try to have thrown out in ’04?
BF Durbin
…and G.W. said, “Jobs, boys, don’t you worry about no jobs. There always be work for you here with me in the White House.”
Robin Roberts
Hmmm, Durbin must think that those sailors enlisted because of the Clinton recession.
