The first time I heard anyone use that expression was when I asked my Dad, a USAF Lt. Col. (ww2, Korea- did not "serve" in Viet Nam but volunteered to evacuate body bags to Japan) why he didn't want to see " On Golden Pond."

CBS announcer: Any U.S. soldier would shoot Pelosi, strangle Reid @ 5:16 pm by Michael O'Brien
CBS Sports commentator David Feherty drew criticism Friday for suggesting any U.S. soldier would murder House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) if given the chance.
"From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this, though: despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Osama bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death," Feherty wrote in an a D Magazine piece welcoming former President George W. Bush back to Dallas.
Feherty, a former professional golfer who now helps call golf events for CBS, said that troops love former President Bush by contrast, and praised the former commander-in-chief for having prevented additional terrorist attacks during his time in office.
Liberal media watchdog Media Matters for America demanded an apology for the remarks Friday.
"Mr. Feherty's violent comments about Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid are disgusting," said Media Matters President Eric Burns. "Suggesting that our troops would attack the leaders of the very democracy they've sworn to sacrifice their lives for is an insult to their integrity, honor, and professionalism. CBS Sports should demand its golf analyst apologize to our soldiers."
I'm as flawed and sinful as any human is.
But I will take offense at someone who thinks that any and all members of our military would assassinate two duly elected senators before killing Osama Bin Laden.
Our soldiers and sailors would take a bullet for either of them.
The first time I heard anyone use that expression was when I asked my Dad, a USAF Lt. Col. (ww2, Korea- did not "serve" in Viet Nam but volunteered to evacuate body bags to Japan) why he didn't want to see " On Golden Pond."
Yada! Yada!:-)
I think it was a joke...
I've watched Feherty for quite some time, and I can tell you for certain that if he had any design in mind at all when he spoke, it was to express his revulsion for Pelosi and Reid and his outrage at what they've done to America.
yea like a tiny amount of piss could put out a fire lol
No one is more patriotic than me buster; so take your yada yada somewhere else.
Why waste the extra bullet
No Problem I will glady pay for the extra bullet. even if it has to be a silver one
We all have revulson for Pelosi and Reed. They are the bottom of the scum bucket.
If it was, I apologize, ZX12R (if that is you real name).
Must have missed it...
He says that like he thinks it’s a bad thing.
Not really pelosi/reid are traitors
~~~~~~~~~~
Right ... the HYPOCRISY is gagging me.
How 'bout their fantasies about all the hurt and death they want to to befall W, their visit to give aid and comfort to our enemies DURING the war and giving them hundreds of thousands of dollars, and their wishes delivered to the Iraqi insurgents to kill our troops ??
How about this garbage ... (and there's tons more evil they do and spew) ???
And they can't be tried for sedition and treason ??? And they want Pres. Bush and VP Cheney should be brought up on fake charges ??? Where's Media Matters calling out this despicable, shameless worm traitors ???
The gates of Hell are open ... the Devil IS walking this earth. We must neutralize this evil.
A lot of people didn't get John Kerry's "joke" about how if you work hard in school, go to college, you'll be successful, otherwise you might get stuck in Iraq.
I just don't appreciate jokes about the military unless they're coming from someone who's served (I haven't).
‘I don’t condone what he said...
BUT IT WAS DAMN FUNNY!!!!’
Heard this on the ‘Not the Rush Limbaugh’ show today, and thought the same thing! It was a joke, to make a point.
Went something like:
‘If one of our soldiers with only two bullets was in an
elevator with Osama Bin Laden, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi,
Nancy would be lucky to not get shoot... twice!
I agree!!!
No self respecting soldier would waste the bullets when they have a perfectly good bayonet....
