Quote of the week:

"60 American troops have been killed and that you are hearing this for the first time from me is obscene."


That's Randi Rhodes of The Randi Rhodes Show. There have been 64 American trooops killed in Iraq thus far this month.

(I'm assuming the quote is from this week. If not, it still fits. It was in an Air America news e-mail Gina forwarded.)
