G. Gordon Liddy = Stupid Xenophobe |
|
On Paula Zahn, G. Gordon Liddy squared off against Arianna Huffington on Cindy Sheehan and the war in Iraq. Near the end of the segment, Arianna said that Bush sounded flippant when he said "I need to get on with my life." Here's a paraphrased version of what followed.
Liddy: Oh, that may seem flippant in a country like Greece, but not the United States.
Huffington: Wow, we're doing ethnic varieties now? It's not just Greek Americans, it's the majority of all Americans which is why Bush's approval is at 42%.
Liddy: That was a gratuitious assertion, and any gratuitious assertion may be denied equally gratuitiously.
Zahn: We gotta leave it there, thank you both.

1. What's the old saying? |
|
If you can't blind them with brilliance, then baffle them with BULLSHIT!
Liddy knows this saying well and practices it as an art form...

was laugh in his face. :-)

4. That was an ethnic slur pure and simple |
|
But I guess they allow that to happen to people of Greek origin or heritage at CNN.

5. Normally to meet a man of Liddy's stature... |
|
one must visit a penitentiary.

7. What does that say about the right that they still have someone as |
|
crooked as G. Gordon Liddy speaking for them? Why is a divorcee shunned by the right, but yet, they embrace a felon -- (unless they vote Democratically.)

9. G. Gordon Liddy is definitely certifiable. Every time I see him on |
|
these shows, I picture him with a straight-jacket on - he's just nuts.

10. In US, "I need to get on with my life" is a stirring statement of purpose. |
|
In fact, wasn't that the theme of Bush's inaugurual address?

11. Kicking this- good god he is an asshole |
|
Comparing his son, who was badly injured (in Gulf I ?)but is still ALIVE to Casey Sheehan who is DEAD was just ridiculous. Then that prick goes on to insult Arianna's ethnicity...
I never thought I'd see Ariana speechless but he definitely shocked her with that statement. She did recover pretty quickly but still...why isn't that guy in jail?
