Looney Liberal of the Week: Jim McDermott

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- This week's award goes to Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) for his comments on Thursday in New Delhi, India that "Osama bin Laden is being held somewhere already and it's only that they are trying to decide what day they should bring him out."

This is the same man, who in September 2002, as Congress was beginning to consider action in Iraq, expressed his distrust of Bush in a TV interview, and live from Baghdad told Americans, "I think the president would mislead the American people."

At the New Delhi luncheon, McDermott went even further and criticized the President in front of the Indian leaders, predicting that Bush's tax cuts will backfire, and that Americans will pick a new president because of the Iraq war. Actually, I think they will pick a new president because Bush can't run again... but that's just my opinion.

No doubt McDermott is only following the lead of other looney liberals who are suggesting that Musab al-Zarqawi's death this week was a staged event, and that Zarqawi had actually been a prisoner for some time. According to some of the conspiracy theories circulating, Zarqawi was only killed this week in order to bolster President Bush's sagging poll numbers. But why this week was so important, and not the week when Bush's poll ratings fell below, say 30%, is still unclear.

No doubt George Bush is waiting until the week before the 2006 election to bring Osama bin Laden out of his prison cell. That way, very few if any of the Republicans on the ballot will be able ride GWB's coat-tails. Of course, Bush will have to kill bin Laden too, otherwise OBL would blab about his secret incarceration. I'm sure that Bush got these ideas from Jack Kennedy who was not really assassinated in 1963, but was spirited away to a South Pacific island where he and Martin Luther King (also not dead) are now running a secret U.S. shadow government...

I find it utterly amazing that the same people who now seem to believe that GWB could be so devious are the same ones who not that long ago called him an idiot and said he wasn't smart enough to be the President of the Untited States. It's utter nonsense... sheer lunacy!
