BRING THE CONGRESSIONAL CHILDREN HOME

It's too long for a bumper sticker, but Tim Blair knows a great campaign when he sees one.

Quoting a letter to the Australian that punctures a Michael Moore assertion that the children of U.S. congressmen are under-represented in Iraq.
There are 300 million Americans; 130,000 US troops in Iraq; 535 congressmen and women; and at least five children of congressmen serving in Iraq.

Thirty seconds of intellectual effort shows that children of US congressmen are very over-represented in Iraq; but 30 seconds is way over the capacity of admirers of Fahrenheit 9/11.

Its good to have Tim Blair back from the pseudo-convention in Bashston.
