shame on steny hoyer!

According to The Hill, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), House Minority Whip, defended the president against a spot-on keynote speech delivered the other night by Stephen Colbert:

“I thought some of it was funny, but I think it got a little rough,” Hoyer said. “He is the president of the United States, and he deserves some respect.”

No, Rep. Hoyer, President Bush does not deserve any respect – after all, he fails to respect the people of the United States, the Constitution upon which this country is based, and the people and leaders of the global community. Does this kind of behavior deserve respect from people who say that we deserve better?

C’mon, Rep. Hoyer – grow a spine and stand up for your party. The gloves must come off if the Democrats want to regain clout in this country.
