John K: Why do Democrat members of Congress (Reid/Schumer/Pelosi) waste time responding to radio talk show hosts? They never respond to cable talk show hosts. I question the sanity of anyone who in Congress who uses the floor of the House to respond to a guy who makes his living making statements on the radio to promote ratings. Doyle is a Democrat. though.
In this case, who knows, because it's just that ridiculous. In other cases, stuff they've said off the cuff, completely fabricated, has been thought of as truth because nobody combated it (cf. linking Saddam Hussein to 9/11).
