Max Blumenthal has produced an excellent video, asking why young Republicans who support the war aren't enlisting. The rotten little repug brats hem and haw, and have a "curiously high level of health problems" according to Blumenthal. Before their chickenhawk excuses start, listen to them talk about "we we we" whenever talking about the mission in Iraq. Everyone is all, "We have to fight them there, so we don't have to fight them here." Who the hell is "we"? Get into a uniform, little brats.

While I agree with the message I have to ask...what is with the weird whispering narrative?

Chickenhawk n. A person enthusiastic about war, provided someone else fights it; particularly when that enthusiasm is undimmed by personal experience with war; most emphatically when that lack of experience came in spite of ample opportunity in that person’s youth.

Actually chickenhawk has more than one meaning depending on whether you are using it as a political term or as gay slang. I was a little confused at first wondering when Tom Delay started fancying boys.

Hahahaha. That's for CNN tomorrow. Damn that Delay is a shifty little bigot. I still can't get him out of my mind after Michelle posted up that nasty Rapture video. Agh!!
