Rush Limbaugh tees off on newly minted FNC contributor Wes Clark:
RUSH: I just have to get blue in the face. I got an e-mail today. "Why do you call Wesley Clark 'Ashley Wilkes'? You're going to have to start explaining some of these nicknames for people." I guess. (sigh) How many of you people have seen Gone With the Wind? There's a character in this movie that's an absolute candy ass and his name is Ashley Wilkes, and the more I heard Wesley Clark speak, the more he reminded me of Ashley Wilkes, ergo we call him Ashley Wilkes. ... It's a long four-hour movie. I don't have time to tell you the whole story here, but go buy it, that way you don't have to take it back or rent it if you have the time to take it back. With gas prices as high as they are, you might want to think about buying these movies and getting them over from FedEx or whatever. But that's up to you.
But as for the assertion that the Iraq war is responsible for increased terrorism my first reaction is: There isn't any terrorism happening in America right now. There hasn't been a repeatof 9/11 right now, and I know full well why there is terrorist activity in Iraq, and why there's terrorist activity in Afghanistan, and it's precisely because we're trying to wipe 'em out, and they are fighting for their survival.
Now in Iraq specifically, what they were doing was trying to prevent what's happening. The president was right last night, folks. They have failed everything. They've tried to do. Their biggest friends appear to be liberals in this country. The terrorists failed to stop the elections. They failed to stop sovereignty. They failed to keep Saddam in power. They failed to put him back in power.
Of course, this slap comes from the guy who, while "candy ass" Clark was serving his country in the jungles of Vietnam, sat out the war in the 'States with a nasty boil on his butt... and who, while Clark was rising to the rank of general, directing the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo in which not a single American life was lost in the completion of regime change, and then, after 34 years in the service, retiring and running for president, was spending his time telling Black radio listeners to pull the bones out of their noses and getting hooked on pain meds. Yeah, he's the guy we should be listening to on the war stuff... |
