LOL!!! Oh lord!!!
You both went ahead and made my day.
Thank you.
Why does Rush call Wesley Clark “Ashley Wilkes”?
“Why does Rush call Wesley Clark “Ashley Wilkes”?”
I didn’t know that. I too would like to know.
This is part of the riddle:
“Ashley Wilkes” was played in the movie, “Gone With the Wind,” by Leslie Howard
“Ashley Wilkes is representative of the Southern aristocrat who fights bravely in the war but finds himself confused and directionless in its aftermath. Ashley realizes that his absolutist convictions about honor and courage no longer have meaning in his world, but he is unable to take action.”
Except Clark has no honor and was fired from his last post.
He does not have courage. He always had to cheat, even as an officer, to get promotions.
Clark acts and looks amazingly like the “Ashley Wilkes” character in the movie “Gone with the Wind”....
From Wikipedia:
The Speech or Debate Clause (found in Article I, Section 6, Clause 1) is a clause in the United States Constitution which states that members of both Houses of Congress “ ...shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony, and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses, and in going to and from the same, and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place. ” Its intended purpose is to prevent a President or other officials of the Executive branch from having members arrested on a pretext to prevent them from voting a certain way or otherwise taking actions with which he or she might disagree.
Also see this case
Cheers!
But Harkin is from the party of love and care and compassion - it must have been his evil twin. /sarc
'cause Ashley Wilkes in GWTW was a WIMP!
Hey, I have one of those — literally. LOL. Well, maybe not evil all of the time, but a twin nonetheless.
Max Cleland
I’m glad Imus is coming back. I’ve missed seeing him on TV in the mornings. He was such a refreshing alternative to FOX’s silly morning show.
“’cause Ashley Wilkes in GWTW was a WIMP!”
Ah...Okay....
Thank you. That makes sense.
Clark definitely is a wimp!
He was stationed here at Quarry Heights, Panama. What a weasel and a jerk.
When USSOUTHCOM moved to Florida, his wife was looking at million dollar homes for their new official residence.
She was told to go fly a kite…or similar words.
bttt
Some of the smarter RATS are wishing this would go away, as they realize it just makes them look like the tools of the far left that they are. Even the scumbag alan colmes says (ironically) that “we should move on”.
million dollar homes = Multi million dollar homes. I think the one she liked was something around $3,000,000.
Like her husband, she is a pretentious little woman.
Supposedly, we know the "real" truth concerning this incident. It is said that another soldier came forward and said that the grenade belonged to him and that Cleland was greviously injured while attempting to dispose of the grenade.
Pardon my skepticism here. For a grenade to become armed, the pin which holds the spoon in place must first be pulled. The pins are designed to present some resistance to avoid having them accidentally armed. Then, if the grenade with spoon is gripped in one's hand, the grenade will never arm and go off. My skepticism is fueled by the question, "Just how did this happen?"
