Took Less Time To Invade Iraq

The Pentagon, like the Administration, needs to consult some focus groups before deciding that equal protection under the law may not be such a bad thing!

It’s all a bunch of homophobic nonsense, devised by idiotic, hidebound generals who can’t remember what the hell they’re fighting for.

Would the Pentagon have asked Harry Truman to wait a bit before desegregating the Army? You bet, if Admiral Mike Mullen is to be believed!

Do Tell

The ban on gays in the military is at last about to be ended…

Oh, it will still take another 18 months, mostly so the Administration doesn’t have to be too brave in an election year, but the US military will at last be an institution in which all Americans may serve with pride.

Unless of course, the Know Nothing Party decides to filibuster, but even total hypocrites like John McCain may decide that alienating yet another group of Americans isn’t the best political strategy.

For It, Against It, For It

Senator John McCain: a more ridiculous, hypocritical and tone deaf Know Nothing would not be hard to find, but he keeps trying hard to wrest the crown!

The man who brought America the unqualified, unethical, right-wing nutjob known as Sarah Palin says he hasn’t changed his mind twice about gays in the military.

Three years ago: “The day that the leadership of the military comes to me and says, ‘Senator, we ought to change the policy,’ then I think we ought to consider seriously changing it,” McCain said in October 2006 to an audience of Iowa State University students.

Yesterday: “At this moment of immense hardship for our armed services, we should not be seeking to overturn the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy,” he said bluntly, before describing it as “imperfect but effective.”

Today, although the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nation’s highest ranking military officer, was only speaking for himself yesterday in supporting gays in the military, according to McCain’s office: “There has to be a determination from our military leaders that they think it is a good idea to change the policy; then, of course, Senator McCain will listen to them.”

Gorilla says: “Can we please now consign this clown to the ash heap of history? I want to see him with William E. Miller for Amex, not destroying our country in the Senate!”
