RATs hate the military, but calling a former Marine officer incompetent is way overboard. I've never met an incompetent Marine officer and I know a lot of them. Defeat the broad in the next election!

Another non-apology apology.

"I'm sorry if you were offended by what I said, but really I said something that was true, although so clever and subtle that you misunderstood it. Again, I'm sorry that you are a moron (as well as a Nazi)."

Crowley will be a fitting partner for the likes of the orca, chuck the schmuck, and corrupt harry reid.

She'll be a good fit for marxine waters, and assorted other hatemongers in the congress.

More from the article:

Rowley called the blog "excellent," and said it is "written by one of our best volunteers."

If all else fails, blame the help.

Just what the Democrats need - another anti-military candidate who thinks Bush is the reason for terrorism and not Islamo-fascists.

Correct, but there's no way in hell she's going to win.

'"Your attempts to smear my good name and 25 years of honorable service in the United States Marine Corps by equating me to a Nazi shows a lack of perspective, a lack of seriousness and a lack of good judgment," he wrote to Rowley. "You should be ashamed of yourself."

Rowley, a retired FBI agent, said she would phone Kline to apologize.'

Another example of the brilliant Bureau, legends in their own minds.

Don't worry, whatever chance Rowley had of winning is gone. Even Democrats are hoping that she drops out. They have privately been urging state Senator Sharon Marko to challenge Rowley in the primary.

I've never met him, but he's an incompetent and a traitor too.
