You know, Julian Phillips has been especially annoying this morning, although yesterday's gem will be hard to beat.

He actually said that most of the military were in uniform because they couldn't get jobs or afford to go to school. I wish someone would slap him.

In competition for the most annoying tv commentator is that horrid little man on News Watch who, yesterday, praised Patrick Kennedy for at least being honest about his problem and seeking treatment, whereas Rush Limbaugh was a hypocrit about his. I was furious and no one called him on it, no one.

Amazing! I missed Julian yesterday saying that. I hope his e-mail box filled to overflowing. What an idiot. I continue to believe Julian is so racially focused that he appears ignorant and uneducated. Similar to some of the "eastern" blacks I've met in the past. To explain, many eastern blacks will claim to be against prejudice but see virtually every issue through a racial prism.

It is sad that is still the perception of some about today's modern armed services unfortunately you hear the same thing in Britain.

That is a complete insult to the men and women in the military

Evidently the illustrious Julian knows nothing of our military men and women. He doesn't know the rigors they must go through to become a member of our military. He doesn't know how many "wash out" of basic training. He doesn't know the stamina and tenacity it takes to do some of the "chores" our military must pass to protect this country.

The critreria an enlistee far exceeds the criteria of the average blue colar employee in the US. For example, an enlistee must have the following charastics, he or she must be a h.s. graduate, physically fit, high moral character, cannot have a criminal record, must demonstrate fiscal responsibility, and cannot have a history of drug use or dwi.

Further, after an individual completes his or her enlistment and decides to end their military career, they are qualified in many fields of endeavor and are in great demand.

Jobless economic recovery, don't you know!

FNC has sought out and hired the dumbest people possible.

Julian and Juan are at the top of the list, but there are others, equally ignorant.

Deliberately so, IMO
