If you're gonna pick on Boehner, you better pick on all the rest of 'em too...

so, the wapo is getting tired of the republican fall campaign talking point, "dems are treasonous wussies," eh...?

Playing Politics With Terror
Is John Boehner more interested in keeping the House than protecting Americans? We're just wondering.

Monday, September 18, 2006; Page A16

"I LISTEN TO MY Democrat friends, and I wonder if they are more interested in protecting the terrorists than protecting the American people."

That was House Majority Leader John A. Boehner of Ohio talking to reporters last week. He should apologize.

[...]

But whether one disagrees with Democrats on any particular issue, it is offensive to try to paint opponents, as Mr. Boehner did, as uninterested in "protecting the American people" -- and to dodge the implications of that statement by claiming, as Mr. Boehner did, that he was simply wondering. As the election season heats up, this is a line of argument that Republicans would do well to drop.

hey, wapo... if you guys would like to REALLY be effective in your all-too-often feeble journalistic efforts, you would do well to do a word-for-word compare and contrast on every individual who has made a similar utterance in the last year... we all know it's far from just boehner shooting off his mouth... we all know these talking points are carefully scripted... we all know where they come from, and we all know there are serious penalties for deviation from the script... how about it...?
