[Txsleuth]

Dang...sorry about all of the typos in #153.

[onyx]

While we're at it, I'd like to take a whack at Andy Rooney. What an old troll.

[mnehring]

Correct my memory, but wasn't Andy Rooney a war corespondent during Nam, one of which who tried to show our troops there as 'baby killers'?

[Txsleuth]

Me, too....especially if I could also come out looking like her. LOL

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

let's just engage in a mass whackin' at CBS... I know that I'd feel better!

[KeyLargo]

"Damn I wanted to pimp slap Pelley."

Yeah, I was wishing that the sergeant would grab the pen out of Pelly's hand and shove it through his eyeball!

Well, anyhow that's my cleaned up version.

[onyx]

I don't remember.

[rbmillerjr]

Andy Rooney blasted the US military last week.

"I saw that ... disgusting"

What did that anti American dirtbag Rooney have to say?

[Txsleuth]

If it wasn't for football....my TV would never be on CBS.

Tonight was an exception...never the rule.

[onyx]

LOL -- target cBS as a threat and we'd be right!

[RVN Airplane Driver]

Scott Pelley is an idiot...as are most journalists...they really think they are smarter than the rest of us. Simple question to Pelley....what would you have done in similar situation. You can tell that murtha was a REMF....with his comments. Phoney to the bone. In a combat situation Monday morning quarterbacking is left to the REMF's and journalists...

[mnehring]

REMF?

[RVN Airplane Driver]

REMF

If you don't know it wouldn't do any good to tell you the meaning....because you would never understand!

[RedRover]

Regarding the mass whack, I'm all for it! Want to get something rolling?

[mnehring]

..never mind. had a brain lapse.. Rear Echelon Mother F****....

These days we just call them pricks..

“We are about to show you bread lines in America that you may find hard to believe. With the recession there has been a sudden leap in the number of people on emergency food assistance. The lines we found looked like they’d been taken from the pages of the Great Depression. It’s not just the unemployed. We found plenty of people working full-time, but still not able to earn enough to keep hunger out of the house. If you think you have a good idea of who’s hungry in America today, come join the line. You’d never guess who you’d meet there....Almost half the people fed by these lines are kids. The Agriculture Department figures one out of six children in America faces hunger; that’s more than 12 million kids. Nationwide, children have the highest poverty rate. Preschoolers come here with their parents and play in boxes as empty as the day’s want ads.”
– CBS’s Scott Pelley’s report from a food line in Marietta, Ohio, on the January 8 60 Minutes II. [74 points]

Well, we got our hatchet job...........

[onyx]

Yes we did but SSgt. Frank Wuterich held his own and did not back down. I salute him, honor him and I'll be forever grateful for his service.

[silent_jonny]

Rooney called our troops "losers" that didn't finish high school and said that the war--no war--could be won with an all volunteer army. He said we need draftees to win.

I wanted to kick him in the face.

remf is rear echelon mutha ....ground pounders don't tend to like that sort, especially when they later turn out to be traitors.
