Top Republican OK with deaths

Early this week in a meeting with constituents, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) shared his thoughts on U.S. deaths in Iraq: “Nobody is happy about losing lives but remember these are not draftees, these are full-time professional soldiers.”

I look forward to the howls of outrage on Fox News– the Fair and Balanced Home of Two Minutes Hate– and Rush Limbaugh’s call for McConnell’s resignation.
