Considering that Rove was basically calling Murtha a coward, why is it a surprise that Murtha responded? Better yet, Murtha didn't say anything that wasn't true. Rove is fat. Rove is far removed from the battle in Iraq & is indeed mostly in air conditioning.



Hillary Clinton, for example, is well know for having a fairly large posterior of her own. She has also been known to refer to republicans as having all sorts of ill motives in the past, most notably, of course, the "vast right wing conspiracy" charge. Some of her accusations against republicans are at least as inflammatory as accusing someone of cowardice.

Given those facts, are you saying that you would support a republican senator making reference to her "fat ass" on national television in lieu of actually responding to the issue at hand?

After all, its not as if Rove was any thinner in 2002, when Murtha voted for the war. So what does Rove's weight have to do with the issue of Iraq?
