Ahmadinejad and Chavez Get A New Court Jester

Mad Mahmoud and Mini Me Hugo are very proud to announce their newest subject! He's a one time US presidential hopeful, who lies about his combat experience! He's Big! He's Bad! He's TOM HARKIN, newly appointed apologist and court jester for none other than Hugo "Mini Me" Chavez!

Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, a democrat, today defended Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's United Nations speech in which Chavez called President George Bush the devil. Harkin said the comments were "incendiary", then went on to say, "Let me put it this way, I can understand the frustration, ah, and the anger of certain people around the world because of George Bush's policies." Harkin continued what has been frequent criticism of the president's foreign policy.

Harkin says Bush came to office saying he wanted a new humility in foreign policy in reaching out to other countries, but Harkin says Bush's actual policy has been heavy handed. Harkin says the anger against Bush is generated from the Iraq war, which Harkin says was "unnecessary."

Thank you Tom. I, for one really appreciate you committing political suicide live and in person.

Because if you think for one second that you are going to live this one down, you are as crazy as the little creeps who's boots you are licking. You are politically all done in Iowa. Count on it. I have this little speech of yours all locked up for your next run at reelection – screenshots and all. Damn that Al Gore for inventing this interwebby thingee, right Tom? Enjoy the rest of this last term.

UPDATE: And spanked by Patterico. This one goes into the file for posterity. Flopping Aces Kicks Harkin. Reader_I_Am from Done With Mirrors is an Iowan who votes. And remembers. WuzzaDem has a moonbat convergence documented. John Hawkins thinks Harkin must not have gotten the memo. Sister Toldjah is not pleased. STACLU thinks it's that memo thing again. A Blog For All thinks Harkin is afraid of the swarm from the base.
