2,000?

"John Kerry, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the 'blame America first' crowd, they want to blame Iraq on the president, (Defense Secretary Donald) Rumsfeld and everyone else," said House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, referring to his Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate. "Why don't we blame it on the terrorists, the people who killed 2,000 people here in New York? Let's not blame it on everybody else. – Courtesy Fox News

Um... 2,000?

2,000. Huh.

Check your numbers, Congressman.

And further... blaming the President for failure cannot be equated to 'blaming America' anymore than alcohol and childhood molestation can excuse pedophilia.

But I'm not grouping all Republicans with the Foley scandal, not even most of them - not any of them in fact. If as a politician, you take issue with an opponent, then counter your opponent, do not regurgitate a bland generalization, grouping hundreds of members of one party together. I wouldn't do it to you. Remember: You're not a perv just because one of your party members can't keep it in his pants when children are around.
