Quote of the Day
You remember Mark Twain said, ‘He looks like a contented Christian with four aces.’ I mean he was just sitting there like, ‘I’m on top of the world.’ 
Pat Roberston, after the President had told him that there wouldn’t be casualties in Iraq.

U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning said yesterday that he was unaware of reports that a unit of Army Reserve soldiers in Iraq had refused an order to deliver fuel for reasons including that their trucks were lightly armored.
“I don’t know anything about that,” Bunning said during a news conference after a speech he gave to the Rotary Club of Louisville.
Bunning added that Congress had approved money to upgrade body and vehicle armor. “And I believe that has all been accomplished. And I don’t know about your reservists,” he said. “Unfortunately, we’ve had some reports, but I don’t know the one you’re specifically talking about.”
When reporters told him that the unit’s refusal was a national news story and involved a soldier from Louisville, Bunning said, “Let me explain something: I don’t watch the national news, and I don’t read the paper. I haven’t done that for the last six weeks. I watch Fox News to get my information.”
Way to keep up on things, Jimbo. And he is supposed to represent an entire state’s population? Has the world gone mad?
