"Kick one for me" John Debbyshire

[Hamlette]

EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER
My mental state these past few days:

1. The Abu Ghraib "scandal": Good. Kick one for me. But bad discipline in the military (taking the pictures, I mean). Let's have a couple of courts martial for appearance's sake. Maximum sentence: 30 days CB.

2. The US press blowing up the Abu Ghraib business: Fury at these lefty jounalists doing down America. They just want to re-live the glory days of Vietnam, when they brought down a president they hated. (PS: They hated him because he was an anticommunist, while they themselves tought communism was just fine.)

3. GWB apologizing to some barbarian chieftain for Abu Ghraib: Disgust. Correct approach: "Mind if we film some footage in YOUR jails?"

4. Revelations about sexual hanky panky in US armed forces: Outrage. I want to see someone cashiered -- a general, at least. This is no way for soldiers to behave when on active service. Gross, unpardonable violation of military ethics. Whose damn fool idea was it to mix men and women in the same units?

Could Derbyshire be any crazier?

He is disgusted that Bush apologized, that members of the military are having sex and that they took pictures of the abuse. This is the same guy that advocated killing Chelsea Clinton because she is the spawn of Bill and Hillary. At least Andrew Sullivan thinks he's nuts too. http://www.andrewsullivan.com/index.php?dish_inc=archives/2004_05_09_dish_archive.html#108415840160364769

1. When I saw the name John Derbyshire

I remembered he was the guy who said that about Chelsea. Appalling.

2. He's scum of the earth.

I freaked when I read the article about Chelsea.
