Don’t like the good news? Just get up and leave.
Freshman Rep. Nancy Boyda (D-KS) up and left a meeting where the progress in Iraq was being discussed.
Freshman Rep. Nancy Boyda of Kansas, who unseated Republican Jim Ryun last fall, bolted from a hearing room when retired Gen. Jack Keane described positive developments in Iraq. When she came back, she explained: “But let me first just say that the description of Iraq as in some way or another that it’s a place that I might take the family for a vacation — things are going so well — those kinds of comments will in fact show up in the media and further divide this country, instead of saying, here’s the reality of the problem. And people, we have to come together and deal with the reality of this issue.”
I find it hard to believe that the good General told a Congressional committee that they could buy vacation packages to Iraq. And the only thing that made it into the news was this liberal hissy fit.
The reality is that progress is being made in Iraq. That news just doesn’t fit the ideology of Rep Boyda. In fact, it repels her. Good news in Iraq made her upset enough to refuse to do the job she was elected to do. She was elected to deal with these matters and she outright refused to do that, based on her belief system, not the facts. Ridiculous.
