Apparently after stewing for a few hours over former Congressman Bill Sali’s slam today, GOP congressional candidate Vaughn Ward’s campaign has come out with a statement in response to Sali’s jab that sending Ward, a decorated veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, to Washington would be “like sending a boy scout to Iraq”:
“No decision in Congress will be tougher than the decisions Vaughn made in combat,” said Ward campaign spokesman Ryan O’Barto. “Vaughn is a proven combat leader who has spent his life in service to Idaho and our country. Bill Sali and Raul Labrador are politicians who represent a failed establishment that has given us higher unemployment, increased spending, and a record deficit. Vaughn will not stand idly by and watch our politicians in Washington continue to jeopardize the future of our children and grandchildren.”

I thought it was a clever comment from Mr. Sali.

Like a bad penny, “Brainfade Bill” Sali is baaaaaack. The fat, little white-trash turd with no visible means of support hangs on in Idaho like a bad case of diareah.
Idaho and Bill Sali deserve eachother.

Jumping up and down to say “look at me! I’m an idiot!” is not the sort of behavior Labrador needs in a supporter.
Given Sali’s undistinguished single term in the Congress, his comment comprises unintended irony (if not comedy) as well as ignorance of (in the most generous possible interpretation) or disrespect for Ward’s military service.
