If you wanted to do an accurate representation of Hackett in Iraq Borgman, you should have drawn him behind a big desk.

He made all you democrats think he he was a "hero", but you idiots don't know a hero from shinola.

Hackett was nothing but a REMF. And even worse than a REMF, he was a REMF trying to pull a Kerry (portraying himself to be something he wasn't).

Jim,

First I have to say that I really enjoy reading your blog.
Also, I think that this cartoon is particularly appropriate. I worked my ass off for Paul's first campaign this summer, and I really wanted him to get some respect from the Dems this time around. Alas.

Sincerely,
Emily

I saw this and thought you'd get a kick out of it.

(posted Via Salon.com's War Room)

Dick Cheney still hasn't appeared in public to discuss his accidental shooting of a 78-year-old man, but there are plenty of people willing to speak on the veep's behalf -- among them, Comedy Central's Rob Corddry. Playing the role of a "vice president firearms mishap analyst," Corddry explained it all Monday night for "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart:

Stewart: Rob, obviously a very unfortunate situation. How is the vice president handling it?

Corddry: Jon, tonight the vice president is standing by his decision to shoot Harry Whittington. According to the best intelligence available, there were quail hidden in the brush. Everyone believed at the time there were quail in the brush. And while the quail turned out to be a 78-year-old man, even knowing that today, Mr. Cheney insists he still would have shot Mr. Whittington in the face. He believes the world is a better place for his spreading buckshot throughout the entire region of Mr. Whittington's face.

Stewart: But why, Rob? If he had known Mr. Whittington was not a bird, why would he still have shot him?

Corddry: Jon, in a post-9/11 world, the American people expect their leaders to be decisive. To not have shot his friend in the face would have sent a message to the quail that America is weak.

Stewart: That's horrible.

Corddry: Look, the mere fact that we're even talking about how the vice president drives up with his rich friends in cars to shoot farm-raised wingless quail-tards is letting the quail know "how" we're hunting them. I'm sure right now those birds are laughing at us in that little "covey" of theirs.

Stewart: I'm not sure birds can laugh, Rob.

Corddry: Well, whatever it is they do -- coo -- they're cooing at us right now, Jon, because here we are talking openly about our plans to hunt them. Jig is up. Quails one, America zero.

I'm a transplanted damnyankee Cincinnatian living for 25 years as a closet blue-stater here in bright red Nohkaylahnna. I was delighted to receive your Hackett cartoon as a postcard from one of the many Ohio friends I continually goad about the hapless Dems back home. Thanks for sustaining my tenuous grasp on political sanity.

And I had to laugh: I haven't seen "REMF" in ages--a "nanny-nanny-boo-boo" term I thought had fallen into disuse. 'Guess we'll soon start to hear from the Swiftdeskers for the Truth Brigade.

"Hackett was nothing but a REMF. And even worse than a REMF, he was a REMF trying to pull a Kerry (portraying himself to be something he wasn't)."

At least they aren't chickenhawks that deserted and like to play dress up on aircraft carriers. 9/11 happened on Bush's watch, just like Katrina. Bush is a war criminal.

I learned something today - REMF! Fascinating!

Good thing ol' codgers like 'anonymous' can educate cate us young-'uns on the colorful anachronisms of the Vietnam war.

Now, can someone tell me what shinola is?

And, is there any use in pointing out Dubya the "Texan" portraying himself to be something he isn't? Politics! Yee-haw! Giddyap!

Hello. I'm a 24-year-old *REMF* writing from a desk in the desert. (Not really a desk, but it holds my laptop.) I don't pull convoy duty and I'm not guarding the gate, but I'm still over here, away from my family, doing what I was trained to do. I'm also a Democrat, but when you're wearing the uniform, that doesn't really matter. Mortars aren't choosey. I'm not sure what your definition of a "hero" is, but I agree not everyone should have that title, and most people who do truly have it, don't want it. But I do feel that people who have sacrificed time away from their family, risking their lives deserve a little more respect than your name-calling. You don't have to like the politics - I don't - but remember that there's more to the military than guns (or IUDs, mortars, suicide bombers,etc.) ablazing on the front line. Even us "desk jocky-REMFs" (past and present) should get some credit, too.

Hackett was a loser and so are all you Demwits.

I've said from day one he wasn't going to get the 2nd Congressional seat, and he wasn't going to get the Senate seat.

And now he's been spanked and sent home to mommy by Reid and Schumer.

I wish I could post the Democrat crying baby.

:)

Shinola: a brand of wax shoe polish. There's more to this but I will not elaborate. I found this information on the Wikipedia site. Yesterday I found out what REMF meant.

9/11 happened due to the failures of the previous administration(s). Mr. Can't-keep-his-dick-in-his-pants who preceeded GW had ample opportunity to prevent this but chose to ignore his advisors because he didn't want to look bad in the eyes of the international community. At least this administration acts on threats to the United States. Wake up and smell reality.. it doesn't matter who is in office, the Muslims see is as Public Enemy #1 no matter what we do. And let's not forget your chickenhawk flew the coop to Canada....

When are the idiots running the Enquierer going to let Bronson write a blog?

Thats funny that they don't.

I guess they know that most conservatives are quiting this paper in droves anyway.

Bronson is the Head Idiot, that's why. We hear quite enough from him as it is. Gag.
