Walter Jones: Cheney will rot in hell

[itshappening]

North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones has made a second career out of an early mistake. Ten years ago, it was Jones who came up with the bright idea of renaming the "French fries" in the House cafeteria. To save the innocent fried potatoes from being associated with France, Jones coined the term "freedom fries." And then the war went south. Jones turned into a single-issue congressman, voting against any appropriations that didn't bring the troops home.

Via Zaid Jilani, Jones took this message to a conference put on by Young Americans for Liberty, the youth wing of Ron Paul's campaign groups. At 43:40, he gets real:

Congress will not hold anyone to blame. Lyndon Johnson's probably rotting in hell right now because of the Vietnam War. He probably needs to move over for Dick Cheney."

Embedded the Tube for you all.

So cool! And he took the heat for it too, being bumped off committees with Amash. Go, Walter Jones!

Jones gets a semi-serious challenge every other year. This will help make up a challenger's mind. Notice, too, that the Paulians in the audience whoop it up at Jones's zinger.

So what, and so what. At least someone has the cojones to call evil "evil," even though so few appreciate it.

I really can't stand Weigel. And what a head on him, eh? "It's like an orange on a toothpick!"

I dunno about rotting in hell, my guess is he'll run the show

Spot on! I don't know much about Jones beyond this, but he gets big-time points in my book for this kind of honesty!

LOL!

I bet the guy whose name rhymes with "Lenn Feck" will be really mad about this. He might even go as far as to associate Jones with the WBC.

I like Jones. Good man.

Sadly, most Bush/Cheney supporters have never seen this.
