Hello Military Pundits readers! I just wanted to pop in to let everyone know that I will resume contributing when I return from somewhere in the Middle East. While I know that it is commonplace for deployed soldiers to blog, I am unfortunately under direct orders to not blog while deployed due to the nature of my unit’s mission. On a comforting note, the order is a blanket one issued neither due to anything that I’ve written in the past nor issued by anyone in my military chain of command or the DoD. So until I get back (whenever the hell that may be) rest assured I’ll be reading here along with the rest of you.
I have also used the quote of “You can delegate responsibility, but not accountability” I am thinking I need to send Charlie Rangel the definitions of each and what that quote means. How does the guy keep a straight face when talking to the press and actually say that he should not be held accountable for unethical and illegally funded trips to the Caribbean because it was his staff’s fault for not telling him or whatever reason he gave. I am dumbfounded that he could try to use that defense and expect the American people to believe it. Whatever happen to the “Buck Stops HERE” or “Ignorance is not an excuse” when breaking the law. Someone needs to bust this piece of crap and throw his fat butt out of office yesterday. He is the poster child of what is wrong with Congress and why we are in the situation we are in here in the greatest country in the world. He is why so many Americans are pissed at Congress. It is because of people just like him that homestead in Congress so long they think they are above the law.
Constituents of Rep. Charlie Rangel, do this country a huge favor and vote him out (if he is not expelled from Congress beforehand). I don’t care what party person you put in there, just not him, not anymore.
I was planning to write up a huge posting about how the Gaf-master Biden took credit on behalf of the Administration for the success in the Iraq war and then how Robert “I am better than all of you” Gibbs tried to defend this statement. Well in the interest of time and because my friend Jimbo said everything I would have typed, but much more eloquently than I could have, here is Jimbo telling it like it is.
Not only is the video an example of a President that has no experience and no military background, it is also an example of a President who reads his tele-prompter VERBATIM and does not know the context of which he is speaking.
This is truly sad that the President of our United States, he Commander-in-Chief cannot properly annunciate corpsman properly. A corpsman that he was referring to is a Navy corpsman, who are the medics for Navy and Marine units. A picture is below.
Below is what would be referred to as a corpse and since it is a man, it would be a corpse-man.
Now I hope that shows the difference. Next time Mr. President, why don’t you read the damn speech ahead of time, know the topic you are talking about and maybe do a little thinking before you speaking. Don’t be a Ron Burgundy and speak whatever you read.
H/T to Uncle Jimbo over at Blackfive for turning me onto this video. This is a professionally done video of a great song.

Nancy Pelosi is wasting our country’s money at an astonishing rate. Not even on her constituents, but on herself. She should be brought up on Fraud, Waste, and Abuse charges ASAP.
Interestingly enough, over $100,000 of which was for alcohol and food. What is she eating, unicorn steaks?
