WTF?? "there’s a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice"

[progressoid]

As I'm driving to the Dentist today, I briefly tuned into Rush Limaugh's show (I hear he's a drug addict :shrug:). But Rush isn't on; he has some surrogate asshole polluting the airwaves today. Just as I tune in, I hear him quote some guy named David Feherty from an article in D magazine

President George W. Bush Comes Home (Yo, Dubya)
Five writers explore how the Bushes will affect our lives in Dallas—from why China might be our new BFF to how to survive an encounter with the Secret Service.


Here's a bit of Feherty's Pulitzer quality material:

...From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this, though: despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Osama bin Laden, there’s a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death. I’ve never met a soldier who didn’t love this president and this country, and I’ve met a bunch of them, at home and abroad, in hospitals and in theater. At Walter Reed, Bethesda Naval Medical Center, and the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, I have visited dozens of patients, and I always ask of them before I leave: “What do you want to do when you get out?” No matter how broken or burned, or how many limbs they are missing, they give only one answer: “I want to go back. I want to rejoin my team, to finish our mission.” They are rightfully proud of what they have done and want nothing more than to be with their brothers and sisters in arms, because they know the consequences if their job is left unfinished. Right here on American soil, we will end up with unqualified people having to do the job they have been doing over there so incredibly well, and with such extraordinary compassion. The fact is, Americans in America have been safe since 9/11, almost the whole length of G2’s term as president, and for that we should be thankful...

ETA: David Feherty is a golf analyst for CBS and the author of four books, including, most recently, An Idiot for All Seasons. :eyes:

6. Good grief.

He was born in 1951? Damn, he's not looking so good for his age.

7. Ha!

That's actually a pretty good line! Nancy Pelosi is probably the single most reviled person among active duty military and DOD civil servants. I'm a reservist and I've heard unit members say more positive things about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than the speaker. What's her approval rating now? 14%?
