Ackerman Accuracy

A rare chance to praise Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) for this tidbit we found in Dana Milbank’s story today:
As it happens, nonsense was on prominent display at both ends of the Capitol yesterday. The day began with a hearing of a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee investigating a singular case of government dysfunction: how the administration had allowed al-Hurra, a U.S.-funded Middle Eastern television station, to promote Holocaust deniers and anti-Israel campaigns. “Why are American taxpayer dollars used to spread the hate, lies and propaganda of these nuts, when our goal was to counter them?” asked the subcommittee chairman, Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-N.Y.).
Nuts is probably the best description you can say in Congress. Axis of evil-doing nuts.
