The Genius of the 101st Keyboarder From last nights gong show quality Larry King, Randi Rhodes poses a question to young freeper radio host Ben Ferguson: FERGUSON: Randi, I have friends in Iraq, OK? RHODES: Listen, you should be in Iraq. You're 22. When I was 22, I was in the military. Why aren't you there? FERGUSON: I'm 24 years old. RHODES: Why aren't you there? Then go. FERGUSON: And just because I support something doesn't mean I have to always go fight. RHODES: You go. You go. Go ahead. You go and then you come back because you know what happens when we come back? FERGUSON: I support the Yankees doesn't mean I wear their uniform. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's that sense of logic that will help us start and not prevail in any number of wars in the future if people vote GOP! (Via Rising Hegemon.) 9:56:42 AM    comment []
