The Thesaurus Let Me Down

I was looking for something suitable for Charles Schumer's latest. The thesaurus suggested: abject, awful, base, bastard, beastly, cheap, contemptible, degrading, detestable, dirtbag, dirty, disgraceful, disreputable, down, gross, grungy, ignominious, infamous, insignificant, loathsome, low, mean, no-good, pitiful, reprehensible, scurvy, shameful, sleazy, slimy, sordid, vile, worthless, wretched, and yucky, but really, despicable suits him best.



Chuck, you disgust me.

It seems the D's are in a contest to see who can be the most disgusting. Kucinich's entry:

US Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich, on a Mideast visit that included a stop in Syria, said the country lambasted by the Bush administration deserves credit for taking in more than a million Iraqi refugees.

Kucinich, a strong anti-war opponent who trails far in the US presidential polls, also said he won't visit Iraq on his trip to the region because he considers the US military deployment there illegal.

"I feel the United States is engaging in an illegal occupation ... I don't want to bless that occupation with my presence," he said in an interview in Lebanon, after visiting Syria. "I will not do it."

Well, way to go, guys. You make the Democrats who preemptively call Gen. Petraeus a liar seem down right patriotic by comparison:

Congressional Democrats are trying to undermine U.S. Army Gen. David H. Petraeus' credibility before he delivers a report on the Iraq war next week, saying the general is a mouthpiece for President Bush and his findings can't be trusted.

"The Bush report?" Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin said when asked about the upcoming report from Gen. Petraeus, U.S. commander in Iraq.

How long before congressional Democrats start providing financial aid to the enemy? They already provide a morale boost for those who would do us harm.
