An open letter to Kay Bailey Hutchison on Iraq

As a Texas newspaper editor, I must ask you, do you really believe thus nutbar weekly columns your staff writes?

(Sidebar: If any of Sen. KayBee’s staff hits on this blog, I ask you, do you really believe the nutbar columns you write?)

Senator, you’re not bad on some non-Iraq columns that are on fairly mundane domestic affairs. But, on Iraq, you’re around the bend without a paddle, up the creek without a parachute.

Take this week’s column, for example, where you claim “some politicians may call for surrender.”

Name one. And, of course, you can’t.

Nobody who is calling for a withdrawal from Iraq is calling for a surrender to anybody.

It’s things like that which lead me, on any issue other than reproductive choice, to see that your claim to being a “moderate conservative” is nothing but BS, and you’re really nothing more than “a kinder, gentler John Cornyn.”
