Subject: OT - Time Magazine: YOU



Time magazine is so full of crap. If it weren't for every doctor's
office, library, and school library, Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News and World
Report would not have any subscriptions.

The person of the year was John Murtha who reminded Democrats they have
a backbone and should use it! Or, Nanci Pelosi, who will be the first
female leader of the House. Who would have imagined this San Francisco
liberal becoming speaker of the House a year ago? Or, Howard Dean, Rahm
Emanuel, and Charles Schumer, who together put the Democratic candidates out
there to win the last election.

But do they give it to a Democrat? Nope. Their wealthy masters would
not allow them to do that. So they go lame and pick "YOU."

They could have at least given it to Donald Rumsfeld for overseeing what
is possibly the biggest disaster in American history. Better yet, give it
to Iran and Ahmadinejad for being the real winners. And even better - give
it to the insurgents in Iraq who are doing the winning.

And what's with these freaking religious covers every Christmas time?
The Real Jesus! The Real Mother Mary! The Real etc.. Do they really
believe those right wing Southern conservatives actually read Time and
Newsweek?

John Murtha was a hell of a man in his day. Unfortunately he's lost his marbles
and spine. Now he's just another sad old left wing coward.

In twenty years of military service I knew a number of very brave men,
some of whom I wouldn't have trusted with money any farther than I
could have thrown them. Physical courage doesn't guarantee honesty.

Is that the same John Murtha who:

Joined the Marines in 1952.

Earned the American Spirit Honor Medal, awarded to fewer than 1 in
10,000 recruits.

Drill Instructor, Parris Island. (Yeah, he's just a big pussy).

Remained in Marine Corps Reserves after his discharge from active duty.

Volunteered for Vietnam in 1966.

Served as the S-2 intelligence officer for the 1st Battalion, 1st
Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division.

Received the Bronze Star with Combat "V", two Purple Hearts and the
Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.

Awarded the Navy Distinguished Service Medal by the Marine Corps
Commandant when he retired from the Marines.

Yeah, what a jerk.

What did shrub do in the military again?

Would that be the same John Murtha who used his position as ranking
Democratic member of the House Appropriations Committee's Defense
Appropriations Subcommittee to steer money to the clients of his
brother Robert, a Capitol Hill lobbyist? The same John Murtha who was
caught on video coyly neither accepting nor refusing the offer of a
bribe from FBI Abscam undercover agents; the same guy who then failed
to report the offer?

Would that be the same Nancy Pelosi whom even the staunchly left-wing
editors of the Washington Post wrote had cost herself considerable
political capital, even within her own party, by backing "the corrupt
Murtha" for House Majority Leader?

Would these be the same Democrats who promised to change the "culture
of corruption" in D.C.? Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...

Of course, Time has been known to pick a bad person as "Person of the
Year". But that doesn't seem to be what you had in mind.

They should have made you the man of the year Von. The warmth and joy you bring
us makes every day of the year seem like Christmas. Thanks man.

Oh Yeah? Well I am proud to be chosen as Time's "person of the year". I can't
wait to tell mother.

They did, that's why they came up with the lame "winner". How are
you going to market "that"?

I agree. That was one big cop out. The Economist is the only really good
news mag out there.

I'm sure you met some cowardly ones who "served" in champagne units
like shrub. What did you think of them?
