Question: What do Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the Far Right Lords of Loud have in common?
Answer: They all make a zillions on the backs of half-truths and failed Republican policies?
Answer: They all decry the divisiveness in America yet know that they make their livings on dividing America?
Answer: They all demean and demonize those who disagree with them, they blame everyone but themselves for making personal attacks?
Answer: After touting our War President and his war as being a near bloodless walkover, they now say that no one ever said this would be easy...despite the lockstep administration pre-invasion notion that this would be easy?
Answer: They all rationalize the humongous horror created by the Bush White House with "mistakes are made in all wars?"
Answer: They all could care less that your sons and daughters continue to be sacrificed to the continuing mistakes?
Answer: They all think it's a great idea to continue to follow the same guy who continually leads us off a cliff?
Answer: They're all assholes?
Well, yes, those are all good answers, but the one I was looking for was...
They've never served in the Armed Forces, but have no problem supporting the President's wish to sacrifice more kids...except their own.
But finally, the best damn promotional opportunity has raised its bloody head. Forget offering free General Motors car on Hannity's show. How about offering Hannity - and the rest of the broadcast chickenhawks - to the war effort?
President Bush's plan calls for sending in at least 20-30,000 more soldiers. Military officials says they only have about 9,000 to give. In the least they'd have to revise the rules limiting reservist deployments (remember when the National Guard could actually keep a son of privilege out of war?). Certainly the LOL could help to make up a good part of the shortfall. Based on their passionate appeals of unquestioned support, they would welcome the opportunity to serve their president and country.
And tell me a programmer wouldn't relish the idea of boasting theirs as the station that not only Talks The Talk, but Walks The Walk.
The possibilities are delicious.
The Man Who Let A Boil On His Ass Keep Him Out Of Vietnam Now Puts His Balls On The Line For America... Rush Limbaugh.
Madison Avenue couldn't do a better job of selling the war or advertising. It's also an instant cure for diminishing ratings at Fox News. Forget embedding reporters. Embed talk show hosts. Put them in uniforms. Not to play soldier in the Green Zone. But with rifle in hand, going house to house. Getting blown up by roadside bombs. Coming home in a box...that their fans wouldn't be allowed to see.
A talk show host, author, columnist,award-winning television writer and filmmaker, his inspiring book, "Great Failures of the Extremely Successful" (Tallfellow Press) has been published internationally and has become required reading in the Wharton School of Business Masters Program. His "All The News That's Fit To Spoof " column appears every Sunday on the L.A. Daily News Oped Page.
Steve has appeared all over national TV and radio with his unique brand of satirical punditry and social observations appearing in national periodicals from the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times, to his own weekly Internet column "The Lords Of Loud," at AlbionMonitor.net and The Huffington Post.
The whole bunch of them, and the guys who pay them to feed us their bull, should be forced into mandatory service. Since that will still leave thousands of boots to fill, OpEd readers from across the nation can proffer the names of lesser known, but equally assinine and arrogant, local conservative blabbermouths. There are several here in middle Tennessee that I would gladly attempt to shame into service, not one of whom has ever poked a toe into a war zone. It'll kill two jackasses with one slingshot, as I will no longer have to avoid using the scan option on my car stereo to avoid their strident voices.

This is my version of the words of the Deputy Commander

Surrender during the Battle of The Bulge in World War 2,
who replied,"NUTS!"...So I say "Nuts To You Rush,Sean,
And All The Rest Of You Bush Butt Kissers,And That Also
Includes You Nazi Dictator Mad Man George W Bush and
Your Looney Toons, Poor Man's Version Of Benito Mussolini
