Can you imagine what they would be saying if DEMOCRATS had done this? From MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:
So...the Congressman for West Michigan worked together with the George Bush adminstration to make information about how to make nuclear weapons available to - among other people - terrorists. Why? To help make Republicans (and the Iraq War) more popular again! That's just wonderful. I'm sure all of Rep. Hoekstra's constituents in Holland, Ludington, Manistee, and elsewhere are just beaming with pride (snark).
Incidentally, you won't find anything about the nuclear imbroglio on Rep. Hoekstra's website. But you will find a press release about John Kerry's "botched joke". Nice priorities.
Here is the New York Times article mentioned in the Olbermann piece. Also more from Think Progress.
The valiant Dem challenger to U.S. Rep. Hoekstra is Kimon Kotos. Visit his website here.
