Jean "Marguerite Perrin" Schmidt's Lied about "Marine Colonel's" statement
GOP Rep. Jean Schmidt of Ohio ranted embarrassingly for the cameras last week, dressed in a gaudy red-white-and-blue get up that, as one one pundit put it, made her look as if she were being attacked by a Fourth of July napkin set. After watching the Schmidt rant replayed, I myself wondered if she were closely related to Marguerite Perrin, the wacko rightwing Christian loony who recently stunned audiences with her hysterical meltdown on FOX's "Trading Spouses.
Anyway, in Schmidt's diatribe, she claimed Marine Colonel Danny Bubp: "asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message, that cowards cut and run, Marines never do."
It would have been bad enough that Schmidt made such a pathetic spectacle of herself, of Congress, and of the State of Ohio, but it turns out she was LYING. A very angry Col. Bubp made this statement via his spokesperson:
"While Mr. Bubp, a Republican member of the Ohio House of Representatives, opposes a quick withdrawal for forces, "he did not mention Congressman Murtha by name nor did he mean to disparage Congressman Murtha. He feels as though the words that Congresswoman Schmidt chose did not represent their conversation." Bubp also revealed in a statement to reporters that there had nver beeny any discussion or insinuation by him that Murtha was a coward, "or about any person being a coward."
Way to go, Jean "Marguerite Perrin" Schmidt! The trouble is, as ever, the rightwing talk show pundits and columnists like Limbaugh or Hannity will, as always, leave this little detail - i.e., the truth - out of their commentaries on the incident.
