Conrad Burns chastises Hotshots over Billings fire
I know what you're asking, who are the Hotshots right? They are firefighters - members of the Augusta Hotshots from the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest in Virginia. The Senator felt the urge to tell them that they did a poor jobs in the airport after they contained a fire in Montana and were on their way back home. This is exactly the kind of behavior that is becoming the norm for Republicans. Brave men and women risking their lives all over the world and the GOP runs around abusing them to make themselves feel better. It's disgusting! Republicans think they are smarter than the people who are on the ground making the decisions in the moment of a life and death situation. This kind of disgraceful Monday morning quarterbacking is just the kind of thing that these kinds of brave men and women don't need to be exposed to. It's just an extension of the repeated Swiftboating of Veterans we've seen by the Republicans all across the country. But luckily for the people of Montana there is a remedy for themselves from this kind of embarrassment. They can vote for John Tester for Senate and get beyond this kind of foolishness once and for all.
