Bush, Cheney, and Rummy: war criminals, and they remain free. Bradley Manning: whistle-blower, and he gets sentenced to 35 years in prison. Where is the justice? Justice for Treyson! This sums up the DUmmies' reaction to the sentencing of Nothing-Is-Private Manning.
But that was yesterday. Today comes news that Bradley--who at one time had called himself "Brianna"--now wants to be known as "Chelsea" and live as a woman. Bradley is no longer manning.
Multiple threads the last couple of days, too many to link to them all. We'll start with this THREAD, "Bradley Manning sentanced to 35 years."
But before we get to the DUmmies, I think we should hear from Chelsea herself. Click the music link and sing along!

CHELSEA MANNING
Tune: "Chelsea Morning"
Woke up, and I was Chelsea Manning
 And the first thing that I said
 Was I wanted to be female
 And wear wigs upon my head
 If you think you'd like to buy me bras
 And wrap them up, I take A-cup 
Oh, don't you guess
 I'll put on a dress
 And I'll wear a bunch of make-up 
Woke up, and I was Chelsea Manning
 And the first thing that I saw
 Was a thirty-five-year sentence
 And no rainbow on the wall
 All those big strong men to welcome me
 Criminals can be so hardened 
O, won't you please
 I'm on my knees
 Give this little girl a pardon 
Now the cell door opens on my new friends for the day
 And the hall is filled, they form a line
 And two'd be fine
 But look, there's nine
 Whistles to blow today 
Woke up, and I was Chelsea Manning
 And the first thing that I know
 That I now realize I'm lesbian
 I should go where women go
 And I don't like this place that I'm in
 So stick me with some hormones 
Oh, let me stay
 Where I'll be okay
 And we'll talk in diff'rent pronouns 
When the cell door closes
 And the rainbows all recede
 I will tell you secrets
 Hear me speak
 The stuff you seek
 Is what I'll leak
 The only thing I need
 Pretty badly, I'm not
 Bradley, now I'm Chelsea Manning 
So let us now go to DUmmiLeaks, in Cherry Lip Gloss Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, the wag tailoring the doggerel, Charles Henrickson, is in the [brackets]:
Bradley Manning sentanced to 35 years - just breaking. Dishonorable discharge, forfeits pay and benefits, rank reduced. Eligible for parole in 10, time served will be counted.
[You DUmmies should be happy he got off so easy.]
Can he earn time off for good behavior?
[Yes, he will have to learn to keep his legs together and sit gracefully.]
Manning sentenced to 35 years, this should be a national day of mourning
[Woke up, it was a Chelsea mourning. . . .]
Can President Obama issue him a pardon at the end of his term?
[Why not NOW? Justice for Treyson NOW! If Obama had a son--or daughter--it would look like Chelsea.]
I hope he can appeal.
[Oh, I'm sure he will appeal.]
Bradley Manning sentenced to 35 years. War criminals? Zero.
[It's a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world.]
President Obama should pardon him. but he wont.
[IMPEACH OBAMA NOW!]
President Obama should give him Obama's undeserved Peace Prize.
[Oooh! Burn!]
Why I think Bradley Manning should do time.
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
Manning tossed in a hole, Bushco to be immune to war crimes... What a proud time to be a democrat!
[Thank your Obamassiah--who, btw, has not closed Gitmo, and continues to use drones, and spies on Americans, and how come you guys are not protesting HIM?]
I feel sad for Manning. I know what he did was wrong and dangerous . . . but I think he was doing what he thought was right for his own reasons.
[Well, I guess that makes it alright then.]
Poll: Manning traitorous, deserves prison, not a hero
[LOUSY FREEPER POLL!!!]
The lead attorney for Army Private first class Bradley Manning told the media on Wednesday that hell begin asking US President Barack Obama to pardon his client as early as next week.
[Manning will be free within 24 business hours. Bank it. The pardon is sealed in a mason jar on Eric Holder's desk.]
i think there is a better chance of the planet Jupiter making me its Facebook friend, than him getting the pardon from Obama
[Bradley Manning, benburch would like to be friends with Uranus.]
Bradley Manning says he plans to live as a woman and begin hormone therapy: "I Am Chelsea Manning"
[Interesting timing for this news, a day after the sentencing. This is either an invitation to the boys in the prison or an attempt to get transferred to a women's facility.]
Manning says is female, wants to live as a woman
[Notice the missing pronoun. Even this DUmmie is confused.]
Chelsea Manning or Bradley Manning?
[Free 'em both!]
It's a bit much to digest.
[It's a bit much to sw-- no, let's try that again. . . .]
It's a bit much to digest.
[Yeah, I was just getting used to "Brianna." Where did this "Chelsea" come from?]
She identifies as a woman. Get it? She wants to be called Chelsea. Get it?
[Whatever Chelsea wants, Chelsea gets!]
Bradley Manning: I want to live as a woman
[I want to live as a millionaire, Brad, but that ain't happenin'. If wishes were fishes, we'd be swimmin' in the sea.]

SHAVING PRIVATE MANNING
So close, he fooled the Stubble Telescope. 
 
PING!
What’s the difference between Snowden and Manning again...is it just that one released stuff about eviiiiil bush and the other released stuff about goooood Obama or something?

There are plenty of “she-men” in male prisons.
He will never be a woman, he can pretend all he likes but I am under no obligation to share his delusions
Why does this all feel so orchestrated?
Manning sentenced for espionage yesterday while Obama is away.
Manning comes out today,and Obies first order of business tomorrow is a Bisexual roundtable.
It says:
 PRIDE IN OUR WHISTLE-BLOWER
 "Chelsea" Manning stuck as male for 35 years; heart-breaking. Desires menst**** discharge, forfeits p***s and baggage, rack increased.
Oh, come on, Travis. If Manning is representative of Army Soldiers, then surely Kristin Beck is representative of Navy SEALs?
I don’t think so. Freaks are freaks are freaks, and, especially in this society, they’re encouraged to be freaks. Not much can be done about them except scoff at the sycophants who embrace their behavior.
Wonder if he chose Chelsea because of Clinton’s daughter? The sympathy vote??
“I want to live as a millionaire”
Dang it! You beat me to it. That was the first thought I had when I read Manning wanted to live as a gal.
Heck, I’d be content with being a thousandaire. :)
Howard Stern couldn’t even make this up.
Aww, come on now, didn’t ANYONE jump down the throat of people who weren’t absolutely supportive of a traitor deciding to become a woman?
Wonder if (s)he will demand transitional facilities where no one knows if he is a guy or a gal until the soon to be taxpayer funded hormone therapies start kicking in. Of course, therapy for his theft, his treason, his backstabbing of soldiers is as likely as therapy to cure his sexual identity problem.
Once a whistle blower, always a whistle blower I guess.
Hard to fool the DNA though. It dies in a wreck, and the DNA says male. What to do. What to do.
If it looks like a duck...
How’s that “gays in the military” thing workin out fellas?
Thanks Charles Henrickson.
Ron Paul: Manning should be released
