I also remind you that it has been 12 days since BlueGrassRoots called on Mitch McConnell to be consistent in his criticism and denounce CENTCOM head Adm. Fallon for calling Gen. Petraeus a sycophantic "ass-kissing little chickenshit" and call for his resignation. We're still waiting on your response Mitch. It appears once more that you will only choose to denounce such "attacks" when they are made by your opponents.

And this concern for "attacking the character of military veterans" that you suddenly seem to have? Well, your words this spring show that this is completely hollow rhetoric that you are not even willing to commit to yourself. Let's examine Sam Fox, a big contributor to the Swift Vote Veterans for Truth, the widely discredited liars that shamefully smeared the character of John Kerry during the 2004 Presidential election. Fox was nominated for an ambassadorship to Belgium by President Bush this Spring. The Democrats, quite justifiably, opposed the nomination of Fox, who bankrolled this disgusting attack on a war hero. This was Mitch McConnell's response to the Democrats' opposition:

A spokesman for the minority leadership said Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) would not comment on the possibility of the Republicans filibustering a vote that would be a certain loss for Bush's nominee until the Democrats made their plans clear. He also accused them of wasting time on the issue.

"Once the Democrats figure out how they want to waste time on this, Senator McConnell will decide how to respond," Jon Henke, a spokesman for McConnell, told RAW STORY in an e-mail. "If the Democrats want to waste some time in a pointless personal fight about the Ambassador to Belgium, I'd only note that recess appointments are very common and we don't recall Democrats citing this law when President Clinton made similar recess appointments."

Yes, you sir, are a hypocrite. I have a feeling your reaction would be slightly different if Tom Matzzie was nominated as ambassador.

So what will it be Mitch? Let's look at your words from the Senate floor and see if you will be consistent in your criticism:

Will you "approve of this kind of trash that we've seen" from Limbaugh, Fallon and Fox? Are these people "a severe threat to the reputation of the (Republican) Party"? Will you take advantage of this "opportunity" I've offered you to "go on record in opposition to these outrageous and unacceptable" comments and actions? Is this an "outrage"? "Are you offended by this"? "Do you not condemn it"? Is "this the opportunity for" you to "condemn this outragous ad"? Are "some kinds of rhetoric simply unacceptable"? Does Rush Limbaugh speak for the Republican Party, and are you offended by that? Does Adm. Fallon "wish for America's defeat" by such characterizations of Petraeus? Should they "rise above that"? Do "the American people want you to do that"? Will you "condemn these outrageous comments and actions questioning the patriotism of General Petraeus", Chuck Hagel and John Kerry?

We'll be waiting for your response Senator McConnell, and counting the days for how long it takes you to do so.

(and also counting the days for how long it takes our KY mainstream media to point out this hypocrisy and call Mitch out on it.... don't hold your breath on that one)
