From Republican congressman Jack Kingston, explaining why no one wants to hold a vote to approve military action in Iraq:
A lot of people would like to stay on the sideline and say, ‘Just bomb the place and tell us about it later.’ It’s an election year. A lot of Democrats don’t know how it would play in their party, and Republicans don’t want to change anything. We like the path we’re on now. We can denounce it if it goes bad, and praise it if it goes well and ask what took him so long.
I guess that’s refreshingly honest. Or something.
