Go..go Johnny go...go....Johnny be good....
Heh...thought this would be about John Kerry, did ya?
Nope.
Republican Senator John Warner (Virginia) is rocking the GOP boat. As Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee Warner is responsible for the hearings into the Abu Grahib prison torture scandal.
Warner's hearings have been held very much in the public eye to the dismay of his colleagues in the House and some GOP Senators.
Warner hasn't gone out of his way to hurt the GOP with the hearings and according to the Washington Post story has the full backing of Majority Leader Frist.
The whining from the Bush machine on both sides of the aisle is reaching fever pitch, however:
John Cornyn (R-Texas)"a real distraction from trying to win the war, especially at this most fragile time."
Tom DeLay (R-Seventh Circle of Hell)"We should not allow it to distract us from the war at hand."
James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma)"I think he should stop the hearings at this point; we've heard enough. We have a war to win, and we need to keep our talents concentrated on winning the war as opposed to prisoner treatment."
As an aside....notice how these guys all use the same language? I wonder who's in charge of sending out the talking points..?
