GOP To Wounded Vets: Go Cheney Yourselves

Republican Convention delegates have been "mocking" John Kerry's Vietnam War wounds (and by extension, those of every other wounded American veteran, ever), "by sporting adhesive bandages with small purple hearts on them."

Come the next terrorist attack (Allah forbid), I hope all Purple Heart recipients, past and present, will choose *not* to assist or defend any of these people; they should be required to defend themselves.

And I think they've now provided the answer to Joseph Welch's rhetorical question put to Sen. Joe McCarthy: No; at long last, they don't have any sense of decency.
