I sent an e-mail to Rush Limbaugh when he coined the nickname "Upchuck" Hagel for the Senator from Nebraska (a Republican by the way) Chuck Hagel, who has two Purple Hearts from Vietnam and was featured in a documentary with his brother who also served in Vietnam. (Chuck Hagel defended our involvement in Vietnam while his brother turned against the war.) I checked and found that Rush had no military service and told him he had no right to use that nickname for Senator Hagel and that his comments were what made me upchuck.
Chicago "Sun-Times" (Sept. 22 or 23) had a Robert Novak column about GEN Clark. It makes for interesting reading. As a civilian working for the Department of the Army I will say no more and leave it to all you brilliant minds to come to your own conclusions. I do like to see egotistical, hypocritical talk hosts put in place, however, and that includes the Al Franken episode and Mike Savage who made some dreadful comments about gays and AIDS when he thought the microphone was off (lost his tv program I believe).
