Top Republican insults gays, diplomats, and military in one quote.

"Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., the House Armed Services Committee's top Republican, said he intends to suggest that diplomats who refuse to serve in Iraq be replaced by wounded veterans.

"Let's replace these reluctant Nellies with America's finest citizens," he said in a statement. "Our wounded warriors will serve our country efficiently, effectively and with undying patriotism."

______________

For the innocent among us, the term "nelly" has a long history of use as a derogatory slang for gay men.

And how's he going to put the "wounded warriors" into service as diplomats? Is he planning a special new draft for them?

2. Why not just replace the State Dept personnel with Blackwater?

Then the assholes can guard themselves.

What could possibly go wrong?

3. Well, Duncan Hines Hunter should know all about that. He's serving cup cakes to Craig.

4. Just goes to show ya' how out of touch these establishment types can be.

Who the fuck uses "nelly" anymore?

"Ex-gay" is a more appropriate term.

5. Haven't our "wounded warriors" given enough?

What, Congressman? They aren't dead yet, so you can still squeeze another few drops of blood from their battered bodies? These whores give whores a bad name...
