Republican Senator Jon Kyl: True feminist

Many Republicans Join Democrats in Denouncing Attack in Libya - NYTimes.com:
Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona, the second ranking Republican, lambasted the embassy statement, which was released before the deaths in Benghazi and was critical of the anti-Islamic video.

I don’t know if you’ve ever been involved in victims’ rights, but this is like a judge telling the woman that got raped, ‘you asked for it because of the way you dressed,’ ” Mr. Kyl said. “That’s the same thing. ‘Well America, you should be the ones to apologize. You should have known this would happen’,” he said. “For a member of our State Department to put out a statement like that, it had to be cleared by somebody. They don’t just do that at the spur of the moment.”

Today, we celebrate those who have taken a risk, worked hard, built a business and earned their own success.
This is the reason that the mem "People unclear on the concept" was invented.

Newt-isms

Newt Gingrich said that letting Bill Clinton speak at the 2012 DNC convention would be “enormous risk” that would remind voters of how “pathetically bad Obama has been.”

Does that mean by not mentioning George W. Bush AT ALL during the Republican convention was a de-facto admission of how even worse he was during his eight years?
