This was news to me. I thought Dick Cavett had died and gone to hell.

The first thing that jumped out at me regarding Gen Petraeus and his 'gaudy uniform' was this....

Master Parachutist Badge
"Participated in 65 jumps to include 25 jumps with combat equipment; four night jumps, one of which is as a jumpmaster of a stick; five mass tactical jumps which culminate in an airborne assault problem with a unit equivalent to a battalion or larger; separate company/battery or organic staff of a regiment size or larger; graduated from the Jumpmaster Course; and served in jump status with an airborne unit or other organization authorized parachutists for a total of at least 36 months"

In English: Girly Men don't get "Master Blasters" (old term of yore)

Nancy boy Cavett and that h*mo wine critic would sh*t bricks over ONE jump. So I suggest they STFU about anything worn on any military uniform, by anybody.

Dick Cavett.....didn’t like him back then.....don’t like him today. A smug, smarmy, wormy looking little elitist, effete, mincing, gay looking pseudo intellectual liberal fool who forgets that he can’t pop his little impudent, decadent mouth off were it not for men like General Petraeus who safeguard our liberties.

I used to watch Cavett’s show in the sixties because he put on a lot of rock groups I liked. And they didn’t have to lipsync like on American Bandstand. But he’s always been far out on the left politically. He once interviewed noted commie I.F. Stone without ever once mentioning Stone’s political allegiances.

Cavett is nothing more than a name dropping, celebrity smoozing whore. No talent and has amounted to nothing. His interviewing style was uber snobish which attracked Libs to his show. Johnny Carson still killed him.

Cavett would probably say that culture is profounder than the state, which deals with men's bodily needs and degenerates into mere economy. The state is not a form where man can act without deforming himself. This is why in better circles it seems in poor taste to speak of love of country.

Dickie is a twerp. I met him in New Orleans at a publishing conference years ago. So very impressed with himself, he added very little to the conference. It’s me me me with him all the time.

Before now I had only a faint impression of Dick Cavett as a pretentious lightweight talking head from the ‘70s, a guy who was a big deal only to the kind of pseudo-intellectual airheads who feverishly imagine themselves to display prodigious mental gifts. Now I know that Dick Cavett is merely a vapid and vicious leftist hack.

Dick Cavett is still alive??? Well, whattaya know. I’d rank him somehwere on a par with Phil Donahue on my give-a-damn meter. :)

Rick Moranis impersonates the twit.

Eugene Levy as Howard Cosell; John Candy as Julia Child; Martin Short as Fred Rogers.
