GETTING PUBLISHED IS GETTING HARDER
For outgoing Senator Fritz Hollings (D-SC), it's getting more and more likely his legacy will be one of, "thank God" instead of "thanks Ernest"...
The Charleston Post and Courier didn't see fit to publish the latest loony "editorial" by the Senator known as Foghorn Leghorn. Usually, it would be standard practice. Unfortunately, only The State newspaper in Columbia chose to publish the piece. Once you read it, maybe you can understand why.
Maybe the tide is turning for Senator Hollings. Maybe they are tired of the embarrassment he brings to their use of paper. Maybe they'll publish it this weekend. Maybe they're trying to save any remaining respect people of South Carolina have for this guy. You know...guilt by association worries.
In it, Senator Hollings says some pretty wacky things:
"...Iraq, as a threat to the United States, was all contrived..."
Then why did Senator Hollings vote for the authorized use of force?
"...President Bush must have known that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. We have no al Qaeda, no weapons of mass destruction and no terrorism from Iraq; we were intentionally misled by the Bush administration..."
Then why did Senator Hollings vote for the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998?
"...We have proven ourselves 'infidels.'..."
"...Walking guard duty tonight in Baghdad, a G.I. wonders why he should lose his life when his commander says he can't win and the people back home can't make up their mind..."
Then why is Senator Hollings giving our enemies more aid and comfort?
Maybe it's because of his own personal motto from his website, "Performance is better than promise"...and he's trying to perform his best for his party, rather than living up to the promises he made in his votes. Either that, or he has to admit that he's lying...or too stupid to remain a Senator.
He should resign.
