Pat Robertson: Marine training was easy for me, ‘but I’m not a lady’

"‘but I’m not a lady’"
Apparently he wasn't much of of a Marine either!

"While the televangelist and former Republican presidential candidate served in the Corps from 1950 to 1952, questions have been raised surrounding his service. The Los Angeles Times reported in 1986 that a fellow former Marine, California state Sen. Pete McCloskey Jr. (R) accused him of ducking combat during the Korean War with the help of his father, late Sen. A. Willis Robertson (D-VA)."

I am a lady and I'm guessing I could kick your pampered ass everyday and twice on Sundays.

But I won't because I'm a lady.

I know Dems have their share of "legacies", but it seems like more than half of all prominent Repugs are the children of wealthy and/or politically prominent fathers. :/
