The Gay, Liberal Congressman from Massachusetts Who, By the Way, Stood Up for Our Troops

Well, Eason Jordan resigned. Yet another head claimed by the blogosphere.
** yawn **
What we wanted was the frick’n tape! What was said? What was the reaction? How do we even know that Jordan should have resigned without hearing the evidence?
One thing I’d like to point out, though, is that the biggest heroes in this incident are Democrats Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Christopher Dodd who didn’t let Jordan’s statements about troops targeting journalists – whatever exactly they were – go unquestioned.
We get caught up in partisanship a lot – to the muckadoos there is no other motivator – but I love times when I get to see our congressmen – whatever his or her party – be an American over everything else. Who knows if this story would have gotten this far if they hadn’t stood up against that slander.
Of course, next time they something I disagree with, I’m going to be on them like white on rice as always, but I still wanted to take a moment for a group hug.

  1. I emailed both to express my gratitude.
    There I’ve done my bi-partisan act for the day. Big change because Normally, It’s just me and Zell Miller beating down some Muckadoos….
    He’s a democrat afterall. That counts, right!?

  2. I hate to be a cynic, but i think the more likely explnation for their interest was an ongoing search for anthing to bash the military and administration. If Jordan had come up with anything substantial at all, we would be reading about the latest scandal right now.

  3. Well, despite disagreeing with him on almost everything, from what I’ve seen of Rep. Frank he does seemed to be principled (and those are the kind that can be turned to the cause of true justice, if we can only open their eyes to the truth).
