NOT A VERY GREEN DAY FOR MEAN JEAN SCHMIDT: KEEPING THE AMERICAN FLAG TABLECLOTH SHE WORE HIDDEN. SHE IS NOW FACING A PRIMARY CHALLENGE

If you missed your CINCINNATI ENQUIRER yesterday you might not be aware that Mean Jean Schmidt is likely to have a Republican challenger for her seat. Local southwest Ohio Republicans, the national party and the congressional leadership are all embarrassed by the freshman imbecile who was caught lying about highly respected and highly decorated ex-Marine Jack Murtha, claiming that one of her political cronies, Danny Bubp, had called Murtha a coward. Schmidt was immediately boo-ed off the House floor, forced by the House GOP leaders to apologize-- and, to top it off, the much discomforted Bubp promptly claimed she made the whole thing up and that he had never even had a conversation about Murtha with her. Then the crazed Schmidt was exposed as a crack whore by KGO Radio and she has, more or less, been in hiding ever since.

Yesterday the ENQUIRER reported that former Republican congressman Bob McEwen is being urged to challenge her in the upcoming primary. (He lost a primary battle with Mean Jean last time, but that was before she appeared on the House floor wearing an American flag tablecloth and screaming wildly, some say insanely, at one of the most respected and admired members of Congress.

Schmidt, one of the least admired members of Congress, refuses to say where the infamous tablecloth-dress that she wore when she was booed off the House floor is. "It's in 'the cupboard.' I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it," she answered mysteriously when a reporter found her recently.
