Mean Jean, the early years.

Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH) got a lot of bad press earlier this year for calling Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) a coward. But apparently she’s been a bit of a loose cannon going way back. The Hill has a piece today which digs up a 1984 quote in which she said of Liddy Dole ““I hate that woman … I just can’t stand her.”

Of young GOP activists: “They look like young Hitlers to me. … They’re so grim and deadly serious about the cause.”
