Hillary Beefs Up Pace Response

After being criticized yesterday by gay groups for her weak condemnation of Joint Chiefs Chairman General Peter Pace calling gays "immoral", Sen. Hillary Clinton issued a more strongly worded follow-up statement:

“I disagree with what he said and do not share his view, plain and simple,” the Senator said. “It is inappropriate to inject such personal views into this public policy matter, especially at a time in which there are young men and women in such grave circumstances in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and in other dangerous places around the world.”

Better Senator Clinton, better. But why couldn't you say that first?
