Rep. Pete Roskam (R-IL) paid tribute to the NRCC, which he credited with helping him beat Tammy Duckworth, a Democrat and Iraq war veteran who lost both her legs in combat. He recounted how the media loved to tell Duckworth’s personal story. “Even Al Jazeera came in and covered the candidate debate,” he said. “I’m not making it up.”
But he said “a funny thing happened.” “The good guys have come over the hilltop for me,” he added. “You know who came in and rescued me? You did.”
There are so many other ways to frame that story.
So, what you’re saying then is that while valiant members of the US Armed Forces “came over the hilltop” to rescue Tammy Duckworth and her fellow soldiers when their Blackhawk Helicopter was shot down in Iraq, the lumpy, pasty members of the NRCC did the same for you, and that’s, you know, kind of the same?
And al Jazeera covered it? Really? No Shit? Well, obviously she’s a terrorist then.
Piss off, douchebag.
