Jean Schmidt: Walter Reed scandal ‘overblown.’
A statement from Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH), who infamously called decorated Marine Corps veteran Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) a “coward“:
While I believe that this building is beneath the standard of what is acceptable, I think it is wrong to suggest that mold found behind an air conditioner somehow is an excuse to say that all of our veterans are receiving substandard medical care. […]
I found the situation at Walter Reed to be overblown by both politicians and the media.
As Josh Marshall noted, the Cincinnati Inquirer has a story HERE.

Get back to your puddle of vomit Mean Jean
March 20th, 2007 at 9:16 pmShe’s so confident about Walter Reed, she going to recuperate from stress incontinence surgery in Blg 18.
Shut up, Mean Jean.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:17 pmJean’s a Republican pin-up “hottie.” (Just ask her.) Eat your heart out, Katherine Harris.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:19 pmAnd yet, Ohioans will still elect her. Done it twice, now. Says a lot about Ohio, I think.
God, I never want to live there.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:20 pmFrom Marge Schott to killing unarmed blacks it should be no surprise I fled Cinci 12 years ago.
Schmidt is an a$$clown.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:21 pmMean Jean still has not climbed out of her vomit….
March 20th, 2007 at 9:21 pmWell, replublicans do know everything there is to know about things being blown!!!
March 20th, 2007 at 9:21 pmAnd yet, Ohioans will still elect her. Done it twice, now. Says a lot about Ohio, I think.
God, I never want to live there.
Comment by Chadwick
Don’t hold all of Ohio responsible. The urban areas and college towns like Cleveland, Youngstown Columbus, etc. tend to vote Democrat, which is why the previous Ohio Secretary of State Blackwell (R, of course) made sure that an inadequate number of voting machines were delivered to such places in November 2004. Nevertheless, in 2006, the Ohioans managed to vote out the incumbent Repub Senator DeWine and also chose Dems to be governor and secretary of state. Moreover, even in a heavily Rethug district MeanJean won only by a very thin margin. And for your reference, I am not from Ohio, but I do have some relatives (Dem, of course) living there.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:32 pmplease spell it Cincinnati Enquirer.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:33 pmThe face of compassionate conservatism shines brightly in a dim mind on the Hill this evening.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:33 pmThat is a strange statement coming from one who fired her illegal immigrant nanny, housekeeper, and gardener for expecting to be paid what she contracted for because they were illegal immigrants.
March 20th, 2007 at 9:34 pmMean Jean can shove it up one of her red, white, and blue pantsuits.

What’s a little mold after you get done flopping around in a giant pile of vomit, like Mean Jean did?
March 20th, 2007 at 9:48 pm“While I believe that this building is beneath the standard of what is acceptable”
Translation:”Good enough for you”

she should have to sleep in a moldy room with vermin just for saying that…
March 20th, 2007 at 9:52 pmCincinnati now spelled correctly. Thanks.

March 20th, 2007 at 9:54 pmShe’s like nurse Ratchet of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”.

Was this before or after she wallowed in puke and squealed like a piggy?

Shouldn’t the Republican caucus assign a PR officer to monitor what the Schmidt-head is thinking of saying out loud?
March 20th, 2007 at 10:29 pmFred F. Fielding. That’s the guy. Does anyone have any opinion on this guy. He took over Mier’s position and from what I read he is the only White House Staff Member that is a D.C.er and not one of his Texas “yes sir boss” guys.
March 20th, 2007 at 10:34 pmI’m thinking she’s more like Kathy Bates in Misery.
March 20th, 2007 at 10:37 pmsorry #23 was for the previous thread. Never mind.
March 20th, 2007 at 10:38 pmWhere’s Paul Hackett?
March 20th, 2007 at 10:44 pmWho the hell cares what the vomit queen thinks? She is a horribly disgusting and vile c*nt. If she were to be attacked by a mad pack of wild dogs, I would cheer for the canines.
March 20th, 2007 at 11:26 pmShe has so much credibility, especially after she called Rep. Murtha a coward and now finds Walter Reed adequate. Guess she is just another BushCo Troll and also hates the Troops. Shame on all the people that actually voted for her!
March 20th, 2007 at 11:29 pmDon’t forget. Our Jean is a frickin’ hottie.
**gag**
March 20th, 2007 at 11:31 pm#30- May the vile bitch burn in hell, then.
March 20th, 2007 at 11:42 pmSchmidt must be forced to resign from the Congress > PERIOD.
March 20th, 2007 at 11:59 pmLet me explain something to you, Jean, you incredibly, stupid bitch. Walter Reed should be the most technologically advanced hospital on the face of the Earth! Second to none! It should be staffed by the most dedicated health care officials our taxes can afford! It should be completely and totally free of ANY mold or any other toxin because it is a HOSPITAL you incredibly dumb idiot!
Our veterans deserve the ultra-best medical care money can buy! And they deserve the very best facility that America can afford. Jean Schmidt is a sick, demented, delusional bitch that American veterans can absolutely do without!
March 21st, 2007 at 12:12 amI second Mr. Evil’s comment (#33) and couldn’t have said it better!
March 21st, 2007 at 12:30 amJean Schmidt WAS BUSY LICKING OFF ALL THE MOLD BEHIND THE AIR CONDITIONERS, EATING THE LICHEN, RATS, WORMS, BUGS AND ASSORTED VERMIN FROM THE BUILDING and WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAMPLE THE PETRI DISHES OF SMALLPOX AND ANTHRAX BECAUSE SHE COULDN’T FIND A CONVENIENT PUDDLE OF VOMIT TO ROLL AROUND IN AT Walter Reed!!!!! HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!!!
March 21st, 2007 at 12:34 amshe’s bucking for top spot on the shit list, currently held by another revolting mann
March 21st, 2007 at 12:49 amJean sees not problem with injured soldiers living with mice and roaches.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:49 amShe sees no problem sending injured soldiers back to Iraq. Now let Jean stay over night in the apartment with the mice/roaches crawling over her and let’s see what she has to say then if she makes it all night. I suggest she bring some mouse traps and roach spray with her. Notice Dick Cheney didn’t go to Walter Reed he went to George Washington hospital. Cheney knows that he wants the best care and he can’t get it at Walter Reed.
America needs to stop electing titty sucking rich kids and start electing hard working smart thinkers. Al Gore, Barack Obama, Paul Hackett, or any others like them. Hillary is too connected to big money. Smart enough, yes. But the integrity factor will keep her out.
March 21st, 2007 at 1:04 amJohn Edwards is definitely smart enough, but the no balls factor will keep him out. John, grow a pair, you still have time. Dennis Kucinich is the only one advocating impeachment of Bush. Love it. Why doesn’t he update his look and TALK LOUDER! Joe Biden has a tough streak, but is inconsistent. If he would only finally just tell it like it is like we know he can. Gets pissed like normal people. Biden needs to get loud like I know he can! Be a God Damn man and just tell the truth! Someone, please!
Yeah -I mean, c’mon; what harm can be a few dead cockroaches? And what health hazard could a little mold here and there ever be?
Plus, those soldiers should have cleaned after themselves…
/sarcasm off
(Seriously, after hearing people like Rep Schmidt talk about the wounded veterans, I wonder if there is anyone left in the world who still buys into their ‘I support the troops” self-righteous posturing)
March 21st, 2007 at 1:53 am#39. Extremely good point Gregor. Last weekend in DC we were accused by the Reich wing of not supporting troops. I wonder now if Mean Jean wasn’t one of those revolting bastards screaming at us.
March 21st, 2007 at 7:37 amWhat color is the sky in your world, Jean?
March 21st, 2007 at 8:25 amOperation Denial.
March 21st, 2007 at 9:07 am…maybe Jean should become…
…a patient at Walter Reed…
…send that frazzled bi*ch to a combat zone…
…ANY combat zone…
March 21st, 2007 at 9:10 am…send that frazzled bi*ch to a combat zone…

She’s already in one. It’s inside her head and the “bad voices” are winning.
March 21st, 2007 at 9:41 am#30, Zooey
Since she brought the matter of her perceived appearance up, and at the risk of further upsetting your stomach…
She makes Ann Coulter look positively BABE-O-LICIOUS.
Ew.
:S
March 21st, 2007 at 12:48 pmBULLSCHMIDT!!
March 21st, 2007 at 1:11 pmSchmidt is the kind of person the NaZI’S would have allowed to tour Auschwitz, knowing that she would return and report on how the people were picnicking in the forests. What a damn fool.
March 21st, 2007 at 1:34 pmI felt the need to drop her a supportive note…
Representative Schmidt:
I just heard the news and I cannot tell you how upset
I was to hear that you slipped and fell in a Cannon
House Office Building ladies’ room. I was even more
upset to hear that you slipped in a puddle of – ahem –
regurgitation.
WHOOPS!!!
You know, nothing more says “Good Help is Hard to Find
these Days†than a ralph-strewn floor in the hallowed
halls (and stalls) of our House of Representatives.
If you play your political cards right, you can spin
this and blame the unions or the immigrants… or both!
Here’s a Fashion Tip:
As I ponder your fondness for polyester, I rest very
assured that whatever shmata you had draped over you
at the time came out completely unscathed. Now that
the weather is warmer, you can just hang that rag out
in the back yard and hose it off. It’ll look just as
“good” as the day you fished it out of the seconds
pile at Wal-Mart.
I also heard you put on quite the show after this
mishap – Shrieking in the hallway and carrying on.
Admittedly, it not easy maintaining one’s composure
while puke is cascading down one’s back, but that kind
of behavior is not very ladylike, and we all know that
the GOP is the Party of Ladies.
We’ve discussed your shrillness before, and you really
need to rein it in, or else folks might start to think
that you’re one of those hard, Democratic “womyn,†and
we all know what THAT means!
I guess your longshoreman-like outburst indicates that
you were not injured by your barfy tumble. That’s
good to know. You could have injured your coccyx (or
better yet – your larynx).
Whatever, at least YOU have health care. You should
be thankful you weren’t injured; you could have ended
up in Building 18 at Walter Reed.
Just expressing my concern for you and my concerns
about you,
Your Homosexual Friend, Who is Equally Concerned about
