Chris Matthews on Republicans and Iraq

Why doesn't Matthews just tattoo it on his forehead?

Tweety eyed the new seeds poured into his bowl:
On the October 11 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews declared that the "best critics" of the war in Iraq "are the Republicans." He added that "it's not the lefties" and "it's not [Rep.] John P. Murtha [D-PA]," but rather the "smart, grown-up Republicans who are questioning this policy and calling for a change."
Attaboy, Tweety. More treats to come. And with that, he rang the bell on his mirror.
MATTHEWS: The real grown-ups, gentlemen, and Margaret -- is that the best critics of this war are the Republicans. [Sen.] John Warner [R-VA], the chairman of the Armed Services [Committee] -- it's not the lefties, it's not Jack Murtha out there even. It's the smart, grown-up Republicans who are questioning this policy and calling for a change.
Got the picture? Democrats call for a change and the air waves indignantly quake with the thunder of cut and run accusations. Republicans call for a change, and... Poof! It's smart and grown-up.

Eureka! The Brits must be grown-up too.

My apologies to the majestic creature, the elephant.
