A General Bias

In the opinion of most folks, President Obama hit the ball out of the park by appointing General Patraeus to be his new commander in Afghanistan. Republicans in the Senate (Lindsey Graham, in particular), especially, have been extremely supportive - not just of Petraeus's appointment, but also of the initial decision to can General McChrystal (whose major transgression, I maintain, is still the Pat Tillman cover-up)................................................................................................Of course, you simply can't please everybody. And, yes, if your name happens to be President Obama, you can never, EVER, please certain people. Can you say Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter? The latter, folks, was on the former's show the other night and, yeah, you betcha', all that these two frigging stooges could do was put forth nasty bile.................................................................................................First of all, they didn't even think that McChrystal's offense was worthy of reprimand/dismissal (attributing the incident more to the President's thin skin than to what was clearly a violation of the chain of command). And then, instead of praising Obama for his selection of Petraeus, they used the opportunity to dredge up the fact that Obama had initially opposed the Petraeus surge in Iraq (yeah, as if in fact that's a settled issue here - duh!)...................................................................................................Of course, why, pray tell, should this one issue be significantly different from ALL others? Mr. Obama, to them, is THE worst president in U.S. history. And it'll always frigging be that way. ALWAYS.
