Yikes. When asked about Democratic House candidate Paul Hackett's obviously experience with the Iraq question, he served as a US soldier in Iraq, his Republican opponent, Jean Scmidt, responded that she just got back from a memorial for a local soldier who died.

Huh? Well with THAT kind of experience she should be an expert on the war pretty soon since the deaths keep going.

He served in Iraq and she just got back from a memorial for a soldier killed in Iraq. Yeah, sounds like pretty comparable experience to me. Not to mention, I'm not sure I like the idea of some political candidate going to some dead soldier's memorial 3 days before the election - sounds more than a bit crass to me.

Not to mention, craaaaaaazzzzyyyyyy. Check out about three and a half minutes into this interview - she kind of starts to lose her cool in a kooky way. Also, she's one big GOP talking point, no substance whatsoever. With regards to Iraq, she thinks it's all going real well. "The best defense is a good offense," is what she'd tell President Bush about the war. Uh huh.

Oh, check out 6:40 into the video, she loses it again. What a fraking witch. Oh my! Gee, tightly strung much? Then she gets on a roll and just doesn't stop even for air, she gets more and more and more wound up. Oh my God, what a nut!
