You can pretty much tell she was going for the whole jingoistic angle - litterally wrapping herself in the flag with the outfit she chose the day she made the statement. She could have slammed Murtha's position/opinion calling for the withdrawal of troops; but instead she chose to sink to a 'Rovian' low (sorry it was a great phrase used by Deutsche Welle this morning).
What I'm wondering is this: does the US Congress have rules of decorum and such similar to the British/Canadian Parliamentary system? ie. can she be charged/threatened with a libel suit for defaming a person's character on the floor?
