Only in theory.

I've often thought I should offer to lend him a testicle.

After all... every man should have at least one.

Let's hope we don't ever hear what the Moron said after more than 3,000 citizens died:

Quote

Get out there and shop. It’s the American way.


That's showing'em.


What planet are you inhabiting now?
Good evening.

Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices: secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge -- huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong.

A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve. America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining. Today, our nation saw evil -- the very worst of human nature -- and we responded with the best of America. With the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.

Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington D.C. to help with local rescue efforts. Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured, and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks. The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow. Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.

The search is underway for those who were behind these evil acts. I have directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.

I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance. America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.

Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a Power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23:

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me.

This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.

Thank you. Good night. And God bless America.

. . . wonders what truth you find if you only look.

If you really want to start acting so tasteless, you might wait until the bodies are cold.

And if you really want to keep score, it's still not even close. Rolling Eyes


You want tasteless?

Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting

Don't EVEN begin about tasteless.


Yeah, I guess it isn't as tasteful as an eloquent statement like "Then Rex the dog ran after sally, while the ball went down, down the hill. Say - did you just say something about a big building in New York? Where's Unlce Dicky?"

Or my alltime favorite: "Bring em on!"

Time to waterboard all the Army officers! See which one's are sleepers. We need TSA to set up screening booths at the entrances to all our bases. Our military is probably loaded with terrorist. First McVeigh now this dude!

What makes you think he/she/it would know what to do with one if he/she/it was loaned one?

Gloating about the "attack", are you? And since this was a Virginian, oh ye of limited gray matter, killing Americans, it's not an attack.

I don't hate them. But, now they're all terrorist suspects, just like me every time I enter an airport. A rogue USA soldier attacked our country yesterday.

Replacing current security (MPs?) with a bunch of TSA bureaucrats? That's some hate, baby. Wink

Which could have been part of the intention. In my view it was just another battle in the GWoT, only fought on home turf. In a way similar to the flying Imams, who I think were trying to lax the security on obvious targets. Glad a female officer took him down, especially after he killed a pregnant woman.
