Putz hearts Howard.

The non-partisan likes John Howard's shrill partisan attacks on Democrats so much, he's endorsed him for President. Look, if Putz thinks calling 74-percent of the American people defeatist appeasers is a winning strategy -- even after November -- I say -- keep it up.

In other news, his annoying habit of writing dishonest headlines has hit a new low:
WHAT OBAMA SAYS ABOUT THE WAR

WHAT TROOPS SAY ABOUT THE WAR
The second headline, of course, should read,
WHAT A SMALL NUMBER OF TROOPS I AGREE WITH SAY ABOUT THE WAR
Putz must not be aware that there are troops like Jon Soltz, an army veteran of the Iraq war and founder of VoteVets.org who agree with 7 out of 10 Americans about Iraq:
We’re a pro-military group that’s concerned about things that affect the military at the lowest levels. We’re for destroying Al Qaeda and the people that attacked this country on September 11. We’re not an antiwar group at all—it makes me go ballistic when I hear people say that. But you can’t be for the troops and for the president when he talks about continuing a failed strategy with another surge. That’s not supporting the troops.

...

The most conservative people in the military have the harshest questions about how the war is being conducted. Military people understand that there’s no military solution possible in Iraq. There might not even be a political solution at this point. The Iraq Study Group offered a bipartisan consensus that offered some sort of hope of getting us back to fighting the people who attacked us on 9/11, and the president decided to throw that out. The troops want a plan that’s going to work, they want someone in charge who they know cares about them, and they want this debate to happen. What hurts the morale of troops is the filibuster on debating the war. What hurts morale is the Pentagon resetting the clocks of the National Guard and Army Reserves so they have to deploy again. What hurts morale is not asking the hard questions about the war.
