In the latest sign that the G.O.P. is intent on politicizing everything Iraq-related, Congressional Republicans are reportedly planning to show up at tonight's State of the Union address with purple ink on their fingers to send the message that they support Iraqi voters.
What's so political about supporting a fledgling democracy which just held a free and democratic election? This seems like a time where partisan bickering should be set aside. But I'm pretty sure it won't.
I think Democrats are more interested in getting this election in Iraq out of the headlines and into the memory hole, though I do wish they'd join in.
Update:
Looks like its for sure.
