Tammy Duckworth - the Dem's Best Hope


Who's amazing now?
Democratic congressional contender, Army Captain Tammy Duckworth is amazingly impressive. Here's a woman who served her country (unlike the shrill Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin) and lost both legs in Iraq. We loved her Democratic Response to Bush's weekly radio address. We're delighted to see the Dems come out swinging....finally.

We really liked her response to the "cut and run" nonsense here:

"Duckworth, who co piloted a Black Hawk helicopter that crashed while under a rocket grenade attack almost two years ago, also criticized Bush and others in his administration for accusing anyone who challenges the president's policies of "cutting and running."

"Well, I didn't cut and run, Mr. President. Like so many others, I proudly fought and sacrificed," Duckworth said. "My helicopter was shot down long after you proclaimed 'mission accomplished.'" "
