I wonder if this is why Gunny Ermey also was out there yesterday apologizing to “The One”. Somebody might have made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Yeah...He backed down:
R. Lee Ermey
A Message from the Gunny

"I recently appeared at a fundraising event designed to collect toys and raise awareness for
underprivileged children. While that event succeeded in raising thousands of dollars and hundreds
of toys for this cause, I regret that I delivered a monologue that was inappropriately critical
of the President. I was trying to be entertaining and simply went too far in this instance.
I am mindful that my success as an entertainer relates in part to my experience in
the Marine Corps, my devotion to its members, and the deep respect I have for members of all our Armed Forces.
My comments should not be seen as reflecting on them or their views.
I was just very disappointed in the amount of success that we were having raising toys and money for
the underprivileged children this season. The poor economy has greatly hampered our
efforts. My comments were misguided, and emotionally based, and for that I am truly sorry."

Semper Fi

Quite the "entertainer."
