The Good News is Bad News
By Cliff MayIt’s tough being a member of Congress. Even if you’re in the majority, as is Rep. Nancy Boyda of Kansas, you never know when your ears may be assaulted by outrageous and offensive ideas.
Like what? At a recent hearing of the Armed Services Committee, retired Gen. Jack Keane said “progress is being made” by U.S. military forces in Iraq; “We are on the offensive and we have the momentum,” he added. The freshman congresswoman was so distressed by these remarks that she got up and she walked out.
There was “only so much” she could take, she explained, so she “had to leave the room … after so much of the frustration of having to listen to what we listened to.” She said she was worried, too, that General Keane’s remarks “will in fact show up in the media and further divide this country.” Hey, that could happen!
Lucky for Rep. Boyda, Congress in August goes on vacation. One hopes she can rest and recover, while blocking out any unwelcome and divisive news about American military successes in Iraq resulting from the new strategy being pursued by Gen. David Petraeus and his troops.

Come on, Less - tell us a good context in which to bitch about THIS!
I don't understand Americans who want America to fail.
Hopefully, we have enough true Americans to keep this great country...GREAT! Then the only part of America that will fail are the people who hate the American dream.
What a TWIT! And those who voted for her, will they notice, will they remember, will they disagree, or will they applaud her childish, immature, spoilsport tantrum?
Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!

Hopefully this woman will be carried out -- of office. Kansas does deserve better.
