Watch Republican Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) recite her talking points on MoveOn/NYT/General Petraeus flawlessly...

...until Tucker substitute host David Shuster asks her the name of the last soldier from her district killed in Iraq.

Crooks & Liars has the video, and the key part of the transcript:

Shuster: "Let’s talk about the public trust. You represent, of course, a district in western Tennessee. What was the name of the last solider from your district who was killed in Iraq?" Blackburn:"The name of the last soldier killed in Iraq uh - from my district I - I do not know his name -" Shuster: "Ok, his name was Jeremy Bohannon, he was killed August the 9th, 2007. How come you didn’t know the name?" Blackburn: "I - I, you know, I - I do not know why I did not know the name..." [Snip] Shuster: "But you weren’t appreciative enough to know the name of this young man, he was 18 years old who was killed, and yet you can say chapter and verse about what’s going on with the New York Times and Move On.org." [Snip] Shuster: "But don’t you understand, the problems that a lot of people would have, that you’re so focused on an ad — when was the last time a New York Times ad ever killed somebody? I mean, here we have a war that took the life of an 18 year old kid, Jeremy Bohannon from your district, and you didn’t even know his name."

Chapter and verse on the New York Times and MoveOn, but not so much as a name on the last soldier from her own district to die.

Not so much as a name.

UPDATE: Yes, hello. Top rated diary already, by first-timer beabea. Still, the more who see this illustration of the Republican game plan, the better.
