At an unveiling ceremony for the new Presidential Dollar coin, Delaware Congressman Michael Castle made some surprisingly candid comments about the war in Iraq.
“Your family is going to need about 25,000 of these things to pay for your portion of this war,” Castle said as he pulled a red drape off the coin. The Congressman’s candor startled his staff and Delaware reports who have become accustom to Castle’s lies and obfuscations regarding the war.
Castle went onto express confidence in the United States mint’s ability to produce dollar coins that are shiny enough to distract people from “how badly they are being screwed by myself and my colleagues in congress.”
When asked to elaborate on Mr. Castle’s remarks on the expense of Iraq war, Castle’s spokesperson, Elizabeth Wenk, returned to the talking points that served the Congressman well in the recent election with her reply, “War? What war?”

R,
I did not have you going I hope. Newbold would wear his dress in public befor he ever uttered a candid word about anything.

Ah, maybe you should create a new category like I did: “Pure BS – It’s a joke!” Wait, that’s a great tag line for this site! Har-dee-har-har!
Have a Happy and restful Thanksgiving if I’m not back on. I’m busy tomorrow and might not be back on, although the ability to resist is near-futile.
