At a time of giving thanks it comes to my attention that one possible thing we can be thankful for is that we don't know 'Mean Jean' Schmidt.   Of course many of us do know a 'Mean Jean' and hopefully they are always in somebody else's family.   Schmidt is the Representative that narrowly beat Paul Hackett in Ohio Disctrict 02.   There have been many reactions from all over the country to her outburst calling Murtha a coward.   She would be a hit with mANN Coulter and Michele Malkin, spewing venom with the best of them.   These are just a few links and serve to remind us that we are glad we don't know anyone like this.
