This just shows how pathetic the credentials of the Republican motto “Support Our Troops” are. Support them now, bring them home.

“why should the USO pick you out of all the other candidates willing to service our servicemembers’ members?”

Because Jessica Simpson is booked up for the next six months.

In answer to your first question, I sing through my nose. It worked for Bob Dylan, and by God, it seems to be working for me.

“I think I’ll arrange to go over there and perform for them.”

Exactly which orifice do you employ in your ping-pong-ball trick, and why should the USO pick you out of all the other candidates willing to service our servicemembers’ members?

“‘How can you have your pudding if you haven’t eaten your meat?’”

Okay, that does it. Doc, you have no place on a fresh, pure, and achingly Christian family site like Sadly, No!

Ok, let’s combine all this:

Flickinger, singing “puttin on the ritz”, filmed on 8mm film stabbing a Brazilian girl to death, all the while smiling that creepy smile.

Oh and MCH in the background dancing in his husky shorts…

I swear to jeebus, Flickinger looks like a doughy version of that 80′s guy “Taco”

i see his picture and all i can think of is that awful, synth-laden version of “puttin’ on the ritz”

Ahem.

The actual Pink Floyd lyrics:

“If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?”

ReagansChildren are probably nothing more than ChickenHawks. Nothing more that the 101st Keyboard Brigade.

They learned well from the Repubican ChickenHawks during the Vietnam War.

I commuted to college so I didn’t have to deal with these insufferable clods then, but in retrospect I remember the type from as early as high school. Always got decent grades, were reasonably social and popular, but you always had the feeling their personal mission of networking and being pseudo-charming was way more important than having a good time on a Saturday night.

*Sigh*
I really had hoped we’d gotten rid of sammich once and for all…

Gem from a Kos diary, from a guy that lived with the dean in college:

“In closing, let me tell you about the Dean that I remember. Again, I was a junior when he was a freshman. Here’s all you need to know, especially after seeing Flickinger refer to himself as a Goliath: He had an embroidered pillow on his bed. I’m not kidding. It had some smarmy slogan like “The Best is Yet to Come” on it. No, really.

Most people in his freshman cohort that year were busy trying to get me to buy beer for them, as I had already turned 21, but the Dean was busy polishing up his regional Emmy speech. He appeared very put together. But I think it was more of a faÃ§ade, as he seemed rather fake to me, an empty suit. All rim and no wheel, so to speak.

“Doc, I’ve never listened to any of your tunes, but..”

Not a problem, Strange Forces. That’s never stopped anyone at this site from insulting me and/or my music before.

Doc, I’ve never listened to any of your tunes, but you kind of left the door open for this one:

I think I’ll arrange to go over there and perform for them.

If you do, I think 100% of the troops would want to leave RIGHT THEN.

Thanks! I’ll be here all week!

“72% of the troops think the U.S. should leave within a year? That sounds dangerously close to setting a timetable for withdrawal! That’s the most loser-defeatist position ever!”

Hmmm. Sounds to me like the troops could use a little boost in morale. I think I’ll arrange to go over there and perform for them.

Why do I feel like I’ve just set myself up for more insults? If I didn’t know myself better, in addition to plans to entertain the troops, I’d be entertaining the notion that I rather enjoy this abuse.

Let us not forget, as was revealed at World O' Crap a few weeks ago, that Chris "Dean" Flickinger sez of his photo that there are three things in it that liberals hate. I guessed the ugly, "poufy clouds" backdrop, him, and the "made in China" tag on the teensy flag he's wearing, representing outsourcing. Others guessed things like his smile and suit. Turns out only one of those things is correct.

I keep reading “Flickinger” as “Fuckinger.” Does that indicate a problem with my brain?

Seeing these pictures of Ronnie’s Kids seems to validate stereotyping, by sight, a wuss. And ‘Dean’ Flickinger is a poster child for polyester. Bet his mom was into tube tops or has a beehive.

Dear God, this is the funniest damn comment thread! If only it weren’t so deathly quiet in the office…

My first memory of Reagan, as a Canadian girl of about 5, was that having an actor for a president was really dumb. At least Brian Mulroney was a lawyer. Yeah, he sucked balls as a PM, but that’s a story for another day.

“There’s plenty of major targets in this war; naive children aren’t on my list.”

Look, when stupid children like Ben Shapiro et. al. are rewarded by the wingnut media with book deals and syndicated columns, and excellent thinkers like Arthur Silber are reduced to begging for rent money … there’s a problem. And it’s a problem that runs deeper than just these particular brain-dead children, because it’s destroying the debate in this country that drives policy; indeed that drives our very national character.

So I do think it’s an important function for some of us to tear down the Reagan’s Childrens of the world, to try to get others to see their unsuitability for participating in the debate from any kind of bully pulpit given to them by the right wing noise machine.

Plus it’s lots of fun to poke sticks at dumbasses.

Brad - I don't think that eating Brie will do much for the US soldiers in Iraq. On the other hand, if they were to call upon Vieux Boulogne, there would be no stopping them as they left that country.

I went over there to razz those guys, but they’re kids – really stupid, politically moronic, thoroughly brainwashed, but kids.

There’s plenty of major targets in this war; naive children aren’t on my list.
