I can't bring myself to watch that fool tonight.
I managed to get myself through the Patraeus hearings but I don't think I can stomach Bush tonight. I have a conference call with my group, Swing the Vote, tonight and I'll be tabling on Saturday as usual. I want to ask my group how we answer the question that I know we'll get from people on Saturday..."But the General said we should stay the course, why do you think you know better than the General?"

How would you guys answer that question? I know it will be asked and I need a better answer than "Fuck you, you idiot!"

1. I NEVER watch the fool on TV
I can't afford to buy a new television every time he blithers. Because if I had to watch, I'd probably heave something solid through the screen.

13. Me, too. I never watch *, or much else, on TV. Mr. Nay would hate
it if I heaved a brick through his nice big-screen TV.

4. The general did not address the political situation.
The political situation is rapidly deteriorating. There is nothing the military can do about that.

5. How about...
If the bridge is out and your GPS tells you to stay the course, would you listen? Open your eyes, the BRIDGE is OUT because we BLEW THEM ALL UP.

7. I can - with relish. I just bought a brand new suction cup dart gun and I can't wait to use it!
I bet my 15 month old will think it's funny. :)

18. The General rests his argument on 'leaving would be a disaster'
These exit strategies show ways to divert an automatic disaster.
