It is remarkable how the spouse of a football player can suffer brain injury from his football days. I didn’t realize it could leap from one platform to another.

> Host Steve Doocy wondered if people should at least be upset that Obama was holding a styrofoam cup.

And that ladies and gentleman says all you need to know about the legitimacy of complaints from these people. I can’t imagine what its like to hate someone so much that anything that person does is cause for outrage.

So Doocy is an environmentalist now?

Wonder why the Faux Not Really News bubbleheads aren’t upset with the fact that the civilian President never returned a salute until that B-movie actor, St. Ronnie of Raygun, began the theatric.

From Reagan’s autobiography:

"I never ceased to enjoy reviewing our men and women in uniform and hope I started a new tradition for presidents. As commander in chief, I discovered it was customary for our uniformed men and women to salute whenever they saw me. When I’d walk down the steps of a helicopter, for example, there was always a Marine waiting there to salute me. I was told presidents weren’t supposed to return salutes, so I didn’t, but this made me feel a little uncomfortable. Normally, a person offering a salute waits until it is returned, then brings down his hand. Sometimes, I realized, the soldier, sailor, marine, or airman giving me a salute wasn’t sure when he was supposed to lower his hand. Initially, I nodded and smiled and said hello and thought maybe that would bring down the hand, but usually it didn’t. Finally, one night when Nancy and I were attending a concert at the Marine Corps headquarters, I told the Commandant of Marines, “I know it’s customary for the president to receive these salutes, but I was once an officer and realize that you’re not supposed to salute when you’re in civilian clothes. I think there ought to be a regulation that the president could return a salute inasmuch as he is commander in chief and civilian clothes are his uniform.” “Well, if you did return a salute,” the general said, “I don’t think anyone would say anything to you about it.”

The next time I got a salute, I saluted back. A big grin came over the Marine’s face and down came his hand. From then on, I always returned salutes. When George Bush followed me into the White House, I encouraged him to keep up the tradition."

A “latte salute” is one thing, but if you’re really interested in showing disrespect to our troops, you should argue that we need to replace them with private mercenaries.

I LOVE THIS!

The DNC should hype the hell out of this latte-salute bull shit. “Host Steve Doocy wondered if people should at least be upset that Obama was holding a styrofoam cup.” Of course they should be upset. They should also be upset that Obama used his negro hand to salute while using his white hand to hold the styrofoam cup. What an insult to our brave heros…

Ding! Ding! Ding! You won - can’t imagine a better response to O’Reilly.

First, the cup was not styrofoam. Doozy’s intentions are so obvious. Few people have the ability to emit a vile stench through video. Makes me want to puke.

And as fine as our President is, he can drink anything the fuck he wants

Obviously a latte trumps holding a dog when saluting.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck was a moron on The View and she’s still a moron. She only sweats the small stuff, because that’s what conservative pundits sweat, and she echoes whatever they say without giving it any thought. She’s awful.

And what…not smoking the styrofoam instead like you do, Douchey?

““But you understand why it’s bothering?” she asked.”

But you understand why it’s bothering?" she screeched.

Bingo!

What a fucking idiot. You salute someone, hold that salute until the person you’re saluting walks past you, then you lower your hand…y’know like they teach in basic training.
