Slanthead Sean Helps T. Boone Pissant Welch on Million Dollar Bet
Newshounds has the rundown:

Sean Hannity And FOX News Help T. Boone Pickens Renege On Swift Boat Challenge

Reported by Ellen - November 24, 2007 - 72 comments

While I was on my near-perfect Florida vacation this week, Swift Boat backer T. Boone Pickens appeared on Hannity & Colmes to defend his reneging on an offer of $1 million to anyone who could disprove anything the so-called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth alleged about John Kerry. As it happened, Senator Kerry, himself, took up Pickens' challenge, and asked that the money be donated to Paralyzed Veterans of America. But suddenly, Pickens claimed there were conditions to his challenge (that, coincidentally, Kerry had not met) even though two conservatives in attendance reported otherwise. With video.

Predictably, Pickens was aided and abetted in his sleight of hand by Sean Hannity who pretended to "know" that Pickens' offer was a bet concerning only the Swift Boat ads that ran against Kerry during the 2004 presidential campaign.
Offensive and politically incorrect though it may be, I've taken to calling the pampered oil billionaire (did he serve in the military?) T. Boone Pussy, a provocation meant to make FReeper and Smear Boater cerebri explode.

3. I tried to watch the clip, and I am a peaceful person.
But, I swear that I want to start breaking things every single time I see or hear that lying sack of shit, Hannity.

I had to turn it off.

I googled and all I found was other people asking the same question as you: Did he serve in the

military?

5. He should have been in WWII or Korea
but his bio on wiki doesn't mention military service or how he avoided it.

10. I don't think T. Boone served
He's a little past the WWII generation. If he had been drafted, it probably would have been for the Korean War. Quite possibly he might have received deferments because he attended Texas A&M but I think by the time the K-War had started old Boone was already working for Phillips Petroleum.

Oh and don't forget to post your thoughts and take the poll at me new blog dedicated to this smarmiest of men. The link is in my sig.
