This is why Republicans are bad, OK?

From Pol Watchers, a Kentucky politics site:

U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, a Hebron Republican, compared Obama and his message for change similar to a "snake oil salesman."

He said in his remarks at the GOP dinner that he also recently participated in a "highly classified, national security simulation" with Obama.

"I'm going to tell you something: That boy's finger does not need to be on the button," Davis said. "He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country."

As for Obama's Democratic rival, McConnell said U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York seems to be "teetering on the brink."

"I hear she hasn't been this worried since a new Hooters opened" near her home with former President Bill Clinton, McConnell said, prompting laughs from the 400 Northern Kentucky Republicans.

I say we ought to condemn BOTH of them, and they ought to be reprimanded by their respective houses of Congress. Instead, what will likely happen is that the media will not give this story the attention it deserves, McConnell and Davis will offer insincere "apologies" ("I'm sorry if you were offended," which means "why are YOU so thin skinned?"), and the whole thing will be quickly forgotten.

I threw in a little history at the top. The Geoff Davises of the world would do well to pay attention to it.

UPDATE:

Davis has apologized. Amazingly, it doesn't sound like the usual "I'm sorry if you were offended" fake apology.

"My poor choice of words is regrettable and was in no way meant to impugn you or your integrity," Davis wrote in a letter that was delivered to Obama's Senate office. "I offer my sincere apology to you and ask for your forgiveness."
