"I found the situation at Walter Reed to be overblown by both politicians and the media."
-- Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH), quoted by the Cincinnati Enquirer, on the living conditions at one of the nation's main facilities for treating veterans wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It's hard for me to believe that Jean Schmidt is still actually in Congress after the kind of things she has said and done. Not even Republicans like her and yet she remains in office. If she wins the primary and the general again in 2008 I think I'll lose all hope in democracy. Its too bad that Paul Hackett decided not to run again because I know he would have stomped her. There are very few Democrats in OH-2 to begin with and he's pretty much the only one who would actually stand a chance. I hope that at minimum the GOP gets its act together enough to boot Schmidt in the primary next year. She really is a horrible person.
