Good work Chris. You’re in charge of taking out the bridges.

Actually, I think Reagan won WW III when the Berlin Wall came down. Then Bush 1 won WW4 in the Mideast. His son botched WW5, so we’re up to 6 or 7 by now.

Steve Martin on SNL:
Whew! You know why people can get away with stuff like that? I’ll tell you exactly why people get away with that. Because the public has a short memory. That’s why all these big stars do these crazy, terrible things and two years later they’re back in the biz, you know. 'Cause the public has a short memory. Let me give you a little test, okay? This is my thesis – the public has a short memory and, like-- How many people remember, a couple of years ago, when the Earth blew up? How many people? See? So few people remember. And you would think that something like that, people would remember. But NOOO! You don’t remember that? The Earth blew up and was completely destroyed? And we escaped to this planet on the giant Space Ark? Where have you people been? And the government decided not to tell the stupider people 'cause they thought that it might affect-- [dawning realization, looks around] Ohhhh! Okay! Uh, let’s move on!

Aaaw, how cute…he’s trying to one-up everyone with how belly-cose he can sound…

Hard to believe a guy with a camel toe is going to save the world.

…but not from hyperbole apparently.

No Porky Pig, this is not WW III no matter how much you are tying to win New Hampshire.

marioth · December 16, 2015, 4:26pm

More reckless war talk from the party that loves to glorify violence, 2nd amendment style.

bankerpup · December 16, 2015, 4:26pm

Oh wow, look. More GOP hyperbole. Meh.

I’m more interested in how he slimmed his face with no seeming impact on the rest of his body…
Like Rubio, Chris sounded super rehearsed even in this latest gift from CBS News.

Crying “Wolf !!!” all the time is not really advisable…

bigbraxstone · December 16, 2015, 4:40pm

Another "chickenhawk’ Rethuglican talking tuff and pounding his chest and engaging in conflict and war whereby he has NO ‘skin’ in the game!

arc_of_the_universe · December 16, 2015, 4:42pm

Relax, y’all. He was just using a metaphor to describe road rage on the George Washington.

I so would like this corrupt hack to win the nomination.

“The problem for folks like Sen. Paul, they don’t realize we are already in World War III,” Christie said on “CBS This Morning.”

The problem with this comment system is that there isn’t a font assholey enough to comment on this asshole.

khaaannn · December 16, 2015, 4:46pm

Leave it to a ChickenHawk to declare WORLD WAR 3 is already here.

steviedee111 · December 16, 2015, 4:51pm

Of course if shooting down Russian planes didn’t ultimately alter their behavior I guess we’d have to nuke Moscow. You know, since it’s WWIII.

ljb860 · December 16, 2015, 4:58pm

So he has bought into the idea that the West is at war with the Middle East, a war that will go on for 25 years, ending about 2027. Of course the West will win and a 1000 years of peace and prosperity will ensue…

Brain bleach, please!!!

Gotta love whoever made the choice to pose him with a bridge in the background.
