More and more Democrats are coming out publicly to express their confidence in retaining control of the House in the November midterms.
The latest to join the chorus – despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary – is House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who, with good reason, is seldom allowed to speak in public.
Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Hoyer repeatedly insisted, “We’re going to hold the House” and “We don’t have any weak candidates.”
Let us just say three words: Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf?
You may remember al-Sahaf (aka Baghdad Bob), Saddam Hussein’s Information Minister. During the early days of the Iraq War, he became famous for saying things like “They’re not even within 100 miles of Baghdad. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion … they are trying to sell to the others an illusion.” This as American tanks rolled by in the background.
No one could ignore the facts like Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf. Until now, that is.
