"They blew up their poster boy"

Ackk! My thread's been hijacked by Ann Coulter!

Seriously, I was so saddened when he was killed. I had no reason to believe that he was killed in any way other than the usual in wartime- by hostile fire. Then, word started leaking out as to the true manner of his death, and I felt even worse for he and his family, because by now the conservative pundits were waving his sacrifice around like a yardstick of patriotism. Crap, they were beating dissenters over the head with it. Finally, his family comes right out and tells what really happened, and we discover the Army tried to cover it up- hell, his platoon destroyed his clothing and body armor! How ****ed up is that? He did sacrifice his life, and if it was an accident, there is no shame in how it happened. So why the cover-up? We all know the answer to that one.

If soldiers didn't die - we'd have nothing to post about here.

But, hey, she made the cover of Time, so she can't be all bad, right?

Yet, Bill O'Reilly called The Drudge Report "A threat to democracy".

Now, now, GC. Just because I am a fan and frequency reader/watcher/listener to Drudge and Fox news does not mean that everythign they say in terms of opinion is something I agree with.

I actually used to watch and enjoy O'Reilly....but there was a time when he became way too full of himself and took himself way too seriously and it got old.

And regarding my beloved Ann Coulter on the cover of Time - didn't much care for the photo they used. Ahhh.....Ann.....

"And finally, New Rule: The people in America who are most in favor of the Iraq war must now go there and fight it. [applause] [cheers] The Army missed its recruiting goal by 42% last month. More people joined the Michael Jackson Fan Club. [laughter] “We've done picked all the low-lying Lynndie England fruit.” [laughter] And now we need warm bodies. We need warm bodies like Paula Abdul needs…warm bodies! [laughter] [applause]



Now, last week, a Baptist minister in North Carolina told nine members of his congregation that unless they renounced their 2004 vote for John Kerry, they had to leave his church. Well, if we're that certain these days that George Bush is always that right about everything, then going to Iraq to fulfill the glorious leader's vision would seem the least one could do. [laughter] And, hey, if it makes it any easier for you, just think of it as a reality show: “Fear Factor: Sh*tting Your Pants Edition.” [laughter] [applause] “Survivor: Sunni Triangle.” [laughter] Or maybe it's a video game, “Grand Theft Allah.” [laughter]



Now, I know you're thinking, but, Bill, I already do my part with the “Support Our Troops” magnet I have on my Chevy Tahoe. [laughter] How much more can one man give? [laughter] Well, here's an intriguing economic indicator. It's been over a year since they graduated, but neither of the Bush twins has been able to find work. Why don't they sign up? [applause] [cheers] Do they hate America or just freedom in general? [laughter] [applause]



And that goes for everybody who helped sell this war. You've got to go first. Brooks and Dunn, drop your cocks and grab your socks! [laughter] [applause] [cheers] Ann Coulter, darling, trust me, you will love the Army. [applause] [cheers] You think you make up sh*t! [laughter]



Curt Schilling, b-bye! [laughter] You ended the curse on Boston. Good. Let's try your luck in Fallouja. [laughter] Oh, and that Republican Baldwin brother, he's got to go so that Ted Nugent has someone to frag. [laughter] [applause]



But mostly, we have to send Mr. And Mrs. Britney Spears. [laughter] [applause] Because Britney once said, “We should trust our president in every decision that he makes, and we should just support that and be faithful in what happens.” Okay, somebody has to die for that. [laughter] [applause]

Or at least go. Hey, maybe she'll like it. Hell, she's already knocked up. [laughter] That'll save the MP unit about ten minutes. [laughter] [groans] [applause]



And think of the spiritual lift it will provide to troops and civilians alike when actual combat smacks the smirk off of Kevin Federline's face and fills his low-hanging trousers with dootie. [laughter] [applause]



In summation, you cannot advocate for something you wouldn't do yourself. For example, I'm for fuel efficiency, which is why I drive a hybrid car and always take an electric private plane. [laughter] I'm for legalizing marijuana, and so I smoke a ton of it. [laughter] [applause] [cheers]



And I'm for gay marriage, which is – oh, well, you get the points! [laughter] [applause]

Really?

What's the story about?

[scaeagles]

Bill Maher? Does anyone still watch him? Want me to quote him saying that our military is a bunch of cowards and the really brave ones are the terrorists? He ranks right up there with Bill O'Reilly for me - very full of himself.

Heck if I know. All I know is that her legs looked like stringbeans.

Regarding Bill Maher, at least he has a sense of humor which O'Reilly does not. They're both full of themselves and often full of sh*t.

Does this mean you're not enlisting?
