King Duped Into Tweeting Earnest Praise For Col. Jessup From ‘A Few Good Men’ | Talking Points Memo

King? Stupid … and pathologically racist.
… if King walked into a vermin infested hovel … the vermin would be repulsed and leave.

I was going to say that, in his defense, King cannot handle the truth. In reality he probably just retweets anything that he thinks will show he supports the “troops.” The idea that he should read and reflect on anything is foreign.

Colonel Jessup gets such a bad rap. After he took the Airports for The Continental Army, you think people would show some gratitude.
