I know that Republicans are just as prone as Democrats to say really obnoxious things - but I'll leave that for the mainstream media to publish.

Here's the latest from Senator Tim Johnson (D) of South Dakota in a speech supporting a Democratic candidate for the U.S House.

"When Stephanie Herseth fills this seat, we are going to have a rising star in the House of Representatives And how sweet it's going to be on June 2 when the Taliban wing of the Republican Party finds out what's happened in South Dakota," Johnson said.

This comes after Sen. Kennedy compares our military to Saddam's regime and Sen. Hollings blames our Iraq policy on sucking up to Jews.

UPDATE: Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson has apologized for remarks at a campaign rally in which he compared a segment of the Republican Party to the Taliban.
