Patrick Murphy Fitting In With Politicians Just Fine

As the U.S. Congress’ only newcomer who served in the current Iraq war, Patrick Murphy’s opinions on the current conflict — as well as the troop escalation plan — carry extra weight. (I guess. I ‘unno.)

But, as you can see, the Iraq vet is fitting in right well with the politicians, as he recently did a nice job of making an out-of-date reference, a politician’s best friend:

“They are getting frustrated. They feel like it’s (the Bill Murray movie) ‘Groundhog Day’ now, four years later, that the Iraqis continue not to stand up, no matter what we do.”

If only the Iraqi army had seen Groundhog Day. Then they’d slap their foreheads and would know what the soldiers were talking about. “Oh! ‘Groundhog Day!’ They’re getting tired, we gotta stand up for ourselves!”
