I'm so disappointed there's no Huggy Bear joke.
I really really like how he says he understands the consequences and risks of war, and has first-hand knowledge of what it takes to send troops in to battle. That's my favorite. I really love it when people like him...war-hawks without the balls themselves to back it up...talk about the difficulties and hardships of battle. Just sad is all it is. He has lied to himself enough about the knowledge of war that he even believes his own lies to be truths at this point.
I hear ya, Smitty. All that DoD talk of Abrams tanks and Stealth bombers and military strategy makes some folk think that they know all there is to know about the war front. Watching a few episodes of "Mail Call" on the History channel is pretty much the same as going through boot camp, right?
Hugging people is hard work.
Damn right, Smitty. I really think he's repeated this BS so many times that he believes it.

I normally never miss a chance, but the video clip of that mother made we so mad I lost the funny.
No, his point was that he avoided dying in a war and his life sucks. No booze, no blow and all these damn reporter's and now Congressman asking him questions. How would you like it if someone questioned the way you played with your Tonka trucks and Green Army Men?
Good point, Pooh. I think his constant crying about all the hugging he's doing is really a not-so-subtle request to get some hugging in return.
Well, what else would you expect from a momma's boy with a drug and alcohol problem?
And I conquer with smitty. The only election Bush deserves to win is World's Biggest Douchebag.
And you all know what Bush says about "catapaulting the propoganda". I guess it works on him...
