Military Man Blasts the Fascists

Quote of the Day:
I would hope that they’re feeling a little silly today. It’s bad form. You don’t make this a partisan issue until an operation has been assessed. It’s fair game ex post facto. But during the emergency, I think that our elected leaders deserve our respect. If Glenn Beck loves his country as much as he alleges, he should hold his tongue when elected leaders on the ground are dealing with a very difficult situation.
-Andrew Exum, a fellow at the Center for National Security Studies, slamming the fascists on the far right for their unfounded criticism of President Obama during the pirate/hostage showdown off the coast of Somalia last week.

Imagine for a second the shit storm we'd be fighting against right now had Nancy Pelosi or Keith Olbermann criticized "President McCain" for making us "look weak" after only 4 days of a relatively minor crisis?!
