The clown congress gets a clue.

All year, I have been stunned and appalled by how utterly ridiculous the Democratically controlled Congress has been. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have been so blinded by ideology and hatred of President Bush that even the most stupid, brain-damaged, totally moronic ideas sounds great to them. These people are total fools, yet they don't even care.

Case in point: Congressman John Murtha now thinks that the surge in Iraq is working:

U.S. Rep. John Murtha today said he saw signs of military progress during a brief trip to Iraq last week, but he warned that Iraqis need to play a larger role in providing their own security and the Bush administration still must develop an exit strategy.

"I think the 'surge' is working," the Democrat said in a videoconference from his Johnstown office, describing the president's decision to commit more than 20,000 additional combat troops this year. But the Iraqis "have got to take care of themselves."

Representative John Murtha has been fighting tooth and nail against the Bush "occupation" of Iraq since day one of the current congress. Representative John Murtha has spent the last eleven months employing every legislative trick in the book in a desperate attempt to stop the surge and remove the troops from Iraq. Representative John Murtha is the standard-bearer of a political party that believes that President Bush only ordered a surge of troops because President Bush wants more working class people to die. Representative John Murtha of the "The War is Lost" party and the "The Surge is Futile" party now thinks that the surge is working after all!

Gee whiz, you know, if we had ever taken John Murtha's foreign policy advice seriously, it would have totally screwed over our troops and the nation of Iraq. It's a good thing that there is no danger of that ever happening again.
