<i>State Senator and U.S. Senate candidate Michael Baumgartner issued an apology Tuesday, then retracted it after apparently sending a profane email to a reporter for the political blog Publicola. &quot;Let me just say, Josh had it coming in this email, and I don&#039;t apologize,&quot; Baumgartner told KIRO 7&#039;s Graham Johnson on Tuesday afternoon. &quot;Look, it&#039;s a naughty word. It doesn&#039;t amount to a whole lot.&quot; </i>
While &quot;Afghanistan, damn it!&quot; is a change from the standard GNoP &quot;9/11, stupid!&quot; if one member of the Senate or House could really make a difference regarding the US being in a war, Barbara Lee would have kept us out of Iraq.

To steal a bit from Woody Allen, at least it&#039;s sex with someone you love.

I&#039;m not saying all wingnuts are sociopaths, but it would explain a lot of the things they&#039;ve said lately.
