Listen to McCain (Mrs.)

WASHINGTON
As the troops waited for President Obama to come into the hangar at Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, an Army band serenaded the crowd.
As the troops were forced away from security duty to put on a photo-op for the homeland media at Bagram AFB, Afghanistan, an Army band tried music to keep the assembled troops from thinking.
Not with Sousa or the theme from “Patton.” The band — drawn from the 101st Airborne Division and called Nuts after General McAuliffe’s rebuttal to a German surrender ultimatum — jammed to a more resonant tune.
It is with eager anticipation, a hard-on too that I await ... drum roll pull-eez!
The young female soldier who is the lead singer belted out “I Kissed A Girl” — Katy Perry’s ode to Sapphic smooching.
Ooh La La - gimme summa dat ode time Sapphic smoochin ... and you know what they be smoochin now, doncha
The lyrics about “the taste of her cherry Chapstick” and “just human nature” offered a cheeky counterpoint to the weighty debate going on half-a-world away as the Senate Armed Services Committee hashed over questions of human nature and sexual tension.
Wrong. SASC is hashing over two political points of view - one, entrenched fahevah in a military tradition going back at least as far as Hannibal and his own band of brash fresh young thangs - is entirely hypocritical and unable to withstand the light of modern reality and pragmatics; The other is entirely Christian in its orientation - live and let live.
In two days of “don’t ask, don’t tell” hearings, senators discussed the knotty issue of whether gays and straights in the military could shower together without losing battles. Once again, the Democrats waited too long to close the deal, the president showed no leadership, and a campaign promise that was seen as a fait accompli now seems a casualty.
This, actually, IS the fucking story. Barack just a'can't get-her done deal.
Even after a Pentagon report showing that most troops and their families think that allowing gays and lesbians to be themselves would not be a big deal, even after the defense secretary and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff urged the Senate to repeal the law that demands dishonesty, Democrats were still fending off a snarling John McCain and a few unreconstructed Southerners.
Senator Carl Levin, chairman of the committee, was eager to show that a gay soldier could be just as lethal as a straight one. He read a quote from the Pentagon report: “As one Special Operations force warfighter told us, ‘We have a gay guy [in the unit]. He’s big, he’s mean, and he kills lots of bad guys. No one cared that he was gay.’ ”
Levin read the quote to Gen. James Amos, the commandant of the Marines, who are the most resistant to gays serving openly. “I don’t doubt,” the general replied, “that at any given base or combat outpost that we’ll find men and women that are out there just exactly like that Special Operations soldier, Marine, sailor, whoever he was.”
Yet General Amos said that because of “the very tough fight in Afghanistan, the almost singular focus of our combat forces as they train up and deploy into theater, the necessary tightly woven culture of those combat forces,” he would recommend against the repeal right now.
I am thinking Gen. Amos has some issues, as in, if he were in a tough fight in Afghanistan, his almost singular focus for the troops as they train up and deploy into theater is the necessary tightly woven culture of those combat forces. In other words, if he were tuning up for a fight, and you could be openly gay ... then he would be SORELY tempted to ruin his marriage for the chance to have one of those big strong killing machine homosexual soldiers to ram their cock up the idiot general's ass.
McCain stressed that we should not make this sort of change while we’re in a bad economy and two long-running wars. So gay Americans who risk their lives get endlessly oppressed because chest-beating straight guys in the Bush era continued deregulation and careened into endless combat missions — and not even in the country hosting Osama bin Laden?
Because ... if we permit openly gay guys (and gals) to serve the economy will get worse? Wait, where will them damn fags find employment if not in this swixh man's army? and two long-running wars ... what if it turned out that all the soldiers were gay? Then, we'd have to stop fighting ... as per McPain in my brain's way of thinking.
McCain after-burner after thought. MAYBE, just maybe, Johnnie Mc-C did a little cuddlin with his fellow fly boys up there in Vietnam?
Some Republicans complained about what Senator Scott Brown called “implementing social change in the middle of two battles.” But those battles were designed to implement social change in Islamic countries on an epic scale.
Burp. No comment. RINO's. Not real tea party guys.
In yet another ludicrous bit of goal-post shifting, McCain said it wasn’t enough that the top two leaders of the military, and many of the troops, favored repeal. Now he wants to hold 13 hearings and solicit the views of senior enlisted personnel around the world, even though, as the Army chief, Gen. George Casey Jr., dryly informed the panel, the military is not a democracy. The five service chiefs agreed that, if asked, they could successfully carry out the changes.
Working like a true politician ... procedurely set up things so that it CAN'T get done. They may not be able to PASS bi-partisan legislation, but they sure as fucking hell can block common sense legislation. Fire every 1-star and up. IM-MED-DI-ATE-LY.
It’s unclear why McCain is being so stubborn and stalling, particularly when those closest to him — his wife, his daughter and his cloakroom buddy Joe Lieberman — have all boldly spoken out on behalf of gays in the military.
Well, Mau - you could fucking ass the man. I'm sure he'd try to duck and cover your red bush with an answer ... one that might even make you blush. BUT THEN ... that would require you to make a phone call and do an interview ... why evah bothah your purt little red-dead-head with such thoughts ... make it simple ... John McCain knows what he knows, and that is more than enough for him [also ... quite clear for all of us.]
It seems a sore point at home: Meghan McCain said the topic would be off-limits at Thanksgiving. And Lieberman, following an indignant McCain on the panel Thursday, asserted, “It’s just wrong and un-American to discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation.”
Right, Joe ... we need to discriminate against people on the basis of the color (sentencing distinctions between crack and powder cocaine; racial profiling; fining all sorts of ways to make poor people's lives even more poor.)
Senator Brown, a lieutenant colonel and a J.A.G. lawyer in the Army National Guard, recalled a visit to Walter Reed, where he “saw a soldier who lost both his legs, lost an arm and lost most of another arm, doing crunches, you know, to try to get his torso strengthened enough so he could still have a viable, you know, and fulfilling life.” He said he did not care if that man, or the other heroes and fallen fighters, were gay or straight.
“I just wanted to know if they gave their limb or their life, you know, with pride and with honor for our country,” he said. Later, he put out a statement saying he supports the repeal.
Tale of two Republicans: In his own fuzzy way, the Massachusetts newcomer was eloquent and inclusive. And in his own grumpy way, the Arizona old-timer was erratic and intolerant.
Gays aren’t risking dying because they’re dying to do makeovers and make-outs in the barracks. They’re going to adapt and fit in. They’re good at that because they’ve had to be.
Okay Mau Do - you failed to grasp the "real story" of your blog post, but at least you leave us ending up feeling soft as petroleum products used to produce porn flicks.
Get some talent, lady.
But - DON'T give up drunking, fucking & sucking - a REAL newspaper consortium might buy the NYT some day and your sweet white ass would be out of a job.
