Best Moment: Jim Jordan Pays A Heavy Price For Acting Like A Jack(et)-Off.

[TrollBuster9090]

Jim "Jacketoff" Jordan has clearly spent so much time with his head buried in the sand that he never saw The Caine Mutiny. Luckily Vindeman and his lawyer had, and were prepared.


In The Caine Mutiny, paranoid Queeg accuses Lt. Maryk of being inefficient and disloyal. Maryk's defense attorney quickly pulls out the fitness report that Queeg had written on Maryk just before the incident. Queeg was forced to read the glowing fitness report he'd just given him:

Queeg: "This officer has improved in performance. He’s consistently loyal, courageous and efficient. He’s recommended for transfer to the regular Navy."

Jacketoff Jordan tried the same thing, claiming that Lt. Col. Vindeman's superior, Fiona Hill, the temporary head of the NSA had questioned his judgement.

Vindeman was prepared for that question. Faster than Jim Jordan could turn his back on a wrestler being molested in the shower, Vindeman pulled out the fitness report Fiona Hill had written for him just before the July phone call.

Here's Fiona Hill's REAL opinion of Vindeman.

Lt. Col. Vindeman: "'Alex is a top 1% military officer and the best Army officer I have worked with in my 15 years of government service. He is brilliant, unflappable, and exercises excellent judgment...Exemplary during numerous visits'...I think you get the idea.”

Turning to Morrison, Vindman added, “I can’t say why Mr. Morrison questioned my judgment. We had only recently started working together."

I think we all know why. Morrison was trying to throw Vindman under the bus, to protect that bloated orange banana slug that's impersonating a President.

Look at Jordan's face, about five seconds after Vindeman starts reading Hill's evaluation. It's a thing of BEAUTY!

"OH SHIT! How am I going to get out of THIS!? Let's see, what other stuff have I got here...um..YEAH, I'll see if I can fluster him into outing the whistleblower again..."

1. Good for Alex Vindman.

You can tell he’s an excellent military officer, he comes prepared for anything!

I loved his opening statement this am, he’s exemplary in every way.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Jordan looks might stupid in this line of questioning. Not surprising to me.

He's all in with his favorite criminal moron.

[captain queeg]

3. Ah yes, the ball bearings

Waiting for Trump to do something similar.

[Jim__]

4. Jackoff Jordan questions the credentials of a military hero. Back to the showers jackoff ...

... that's where you do your best work.

[George II]

5. Funny thing, one of the Representatives asking questions this morning asked Vindman...

...."Your not a JAG Officer, are you?" But his voice trailed off toward the end of "Officer", my immediate impression was he was asking "You're not a Jag Off..... are you?" I wonder if anyone else caught that?

6. "Acting Like A Jack(et)-Off"!!!!

Oh, that's a keeper!

7. I beg to differ

It's not an act.

[Marie Marie]

8. Nobody impresses Jim Jordan more than Jim Jordan.

He really thinks his style is a winning tactic. To me, he always looks hysterical.

9. Important debating tip, Jacketoff

Never ask a question if you don't know the answer.

By the way, the colonel is combat infantry. He can spot trouble before it gets up in the morning.

10. NUNES doesn't wear a Member of Congress lapel pin. Gym JORDAN doesn't even wear lapel!1

[Aristus]

11. That was the first thing I thought of when LTC Vindman started reading his commendation

report.

I played LT Maryk in a local production of "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial" about twenty-five years ago, so it resonated right away.

12. No one makes it to O-5 without a pile of "walk on water" report cards

But then we're talking about congressional idiots who don't know military stuff from apple butter.
