Yeah! You tell 'em, Saxby!

The Raw Story | Senators invoke Confederacy, Mandela to defend amnesty for insurgents: "Senator Saxby Chambliss argued that forgiveness had already been at work in Iraq, asking: “Is it not true today that we have Iraqis who are fighting the war against the insurgents, who at one time fought against American troops and other coalition troops as they were marching to Baghdad, who have now come over to our side and are doing one heck of a job of fighting along, side by side, with Americans and coalition forces, attacking and killing insurgents on a daily basis?'"

What kind of a name is "Saxby," anyway? It's worse than "Mitt."

Anyway, my problem is I get this rush of puckered-up screeching terror any time anyone says "heck of a job." I mean, really. I don't know whether to dive under the table or run for the attic. Don't know which way to duck.

Well. Maybe it's worth pointing out this sudden R fetish for forgiveness (go figure that) does not apply to those guys at Gitmo, who have not been doing a heck of a job, no way.
