"War stories with Ollie North???" WTF??

[KarenInMA]

So, I'm skipping through the "news" channels on my crazy satellite package, and I see a program coming on (natch!) FOX called "War Stories with Ollie North".

Is this a joke?? An SNL skit?? Oliver North, gun runner, traitor, has a SHOW ON FOX????? From wiki: Some point out that his activities substantially contributed to an attempted overthrow of a sovereign, democratically elected government, and to terrorism.

What's next? Congressional Ethics with Tom DeLay? Tips for good grooming with Courtney Love? Championship Baseball with Alex Rodriguez?


I....speechless.

1. Life is nuts sometimes

2. It's not a joke....

He's had the show for some time.

It's a regularly scheduled rant.

3. Ironically, he was removed from his command

in Viet Nam because he kept having breakdowns.
This came out during Iran-Contra.
He is still flippin crazy.

8. He was suspended at the Naval Academy for violating the Honor Code

so it took him 5 years to finish. Lucky him, he wasn't thrown out.

This is from a classmate of his.

P.S. They thought he was nuts then, too.

4. his presence on any medium is utterly rediculous

It is a dishonor to this country to have someone like him on a national news program. He is a three time convicted felon:

Accepting an illegal gratuity
Aiding and abetting in the obstruction of a congressional inquiry
Destruction of documents

5. Who better to tell "stories" to all the rightwing dingbats?

Ollie "hiding behind my Marine uniform" North is nothing BUT a storyteller..(i.e.liar)

6. it's faux news...coorporate media the right wing propaganda machine. n/t
