Poor Rep Jean Schmidt (R-OH). People are attacking her personally. Calling her all sorts of names. All she did was call a decorated Vietnam War veteran a "coward."Oh, wait -- goose, gander -- that sort of thing.
"I pledge to walk in the shoes of my colleagues and refrain from name-calling or the questioning of character."-- Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH), the House floor, September 6, 2005.
Rep Schmidt is the Representative who personally attacked Rep John Murtha (D-PA) on the House floor last Friday.
She claimed to be quoting a friend of her's when she said, "Cowards cut and run, Marines never do." She had to retract the statement.
Another problem for her, the guy she claimed to have quoted says he never said it about Rep Murtha -- a retired Marine.
"I have been attacked very personally, continuously since Friday evening." -- Rep Jean Schmidt, quoted on MSNBCRep Schmidt is the newest member of Congress, barely beating Democrat Iraq War vet Paul Hackett in a strongly Republican District back in August. (MSNBC/PoliticalWire.com)
