Oh to be the fly on the wall when General Fogleman was told McPeak wanted him to wear the doorman uniform.

What is your major malfunction McPeak? Don't ask, don't tell too kind to you?

He is the most reviled former CSAF ever.

The first image that popped into my mind when I saw that clown outfit was --- Idi Amin.

It looks kind of like the old Soviet Navy command uniforms.

RUSH: CNN is suggesting that McCain is too stupid to be president because he’s computer illiterate. He admitted he doesn’t know how to use a computer; Cindy handles all that stuff. “On Thursday, CNN’s Jeanne Moos made the case that because John McCain is not computer savvy, he’s not qualified to be president. She even disgracefully quipped — as a video of a stripper appeared on the screen! — ‘At least John McCain knows the difference between a laptop and a lap dance.’ ... [S]he also took the time to demonstrate just how much of a techie Barack Obama is while adding a dash of Bush-bash.” This is from our buddies at NewsBusters, Noel Sheppard. So McCain’s too fat, and he’s too stupid to be president because he doesn’t know how to use a computer.

On a side note, the article also mentions General Sanchez, who really had some unlucky stars, mostly due to bad timing that wasn’t his fault.

To start with, Sanchez really was the expert at reconstruction, but he was brought in too early during the insurgency. So he was trying to build the new house before the old house had been completely torn down—a recipe for trouble.

Had he been brought in after General Petraeus had worked his counterinsurgency magic, General Sanchez would have been perfect for the job.

On top of that, Sanchez was messed up from below because of the mismanagement of Abu Ghraib. An excuse for congress to hate and despise him, which they wanted to do anyway.

“He was fresh out of jail, you know,” Gen. McPeak said. “Skinny kid. All beat up of course, physically. But quite thin. They weren’t feeding him very well in Hanoi. He’s done very well at the dinner table in Washington.”

Wow. What an ugly quote.

How revealing of the speaker’s character.

Dear Miss Didi,

“RUSH: CNN is suggesting that McCain is too stupid to be president because he’s computer illiterate.”

Does CNN know that upon assuming the presidency, CNN’s favorite president also was a computer illiterate? Mr. Clinton knew so little about computers that when his office at the 1992-1993 Presidential Transition was outfitted with the latest and greatest desktop PC, orders were given to remove it, as Mr. Clinton didn't use that sort of thing.

Great point! I totally forgot about that. Hope Rush mentions it today.

Excellent match, but the guy on the right has a few more medals, and looks like he actually earned them.

McPeak was an idiot then and he’s an idiot now. I think he is a loser and should have NEVER been appointed as a General of ANYTHING
Looks to be in the same class as Wesley Clark. Clark is a poor excuse for a soldier.

You took the words about weasely clark out of my mouth. I work with someone who was in clark's unit when clark was the BN CO, and his words about clark are unprintable on FR.

Anyone who would list McPeak as an adviser on ANYTHING has pee-poor judgment! I never figured out how someone so blatantly STUPID could rise to the rank of Captain, let alone a GO...or CSAF.

I have said it before, military officers who are or become democrats have a self hate complex. Very senior officers who go over to the dark side, like William Crowe did with Clinton to become Ambassador to Britain are self serving bastards who sell the military down the river for their own 30 pieces of silver.

... Space Commodore McPeak” for is his trip into fashion design. He decided that the Air Force “blue suit” should look more like the Navy uniform with a lot of silver braid and shoulder boards.
