A Dem made Duke Cunningham back out of a fistfight and cry?

Seriously, if I ever did that, I would never talk tough. Not to anybody. I guess Jim Moran and the Dukester got in a pushing match over sending troops to Bosnia. Duke challenged him to a fight, and backed out of it. Moran found him in the cloakroom sobbing. Ok, some people just aren't the types who fight, nothing wrong with that at all, it's probably a good thing, actually. I've been in fistfights before, they're regrettable, because really it takes a good person to avoid going that far. But, Duke Cunningham was a shameless shill for the "attack their patriotism" crowd. He called John Kerry "Hanoi John" on the House floor. I heard him on FTN talking tough about Kerry with Max Cleland like a year and a half ago. His background as a fighter pilot, lent some credence to his words as he's one of the few Republicans who actually had the guts served in Vietnam. All I'm saying is, if you open your mouth and don't have the courage to back it up then you don't haven any room talking tough to anybody. But if you start a fight, then hide in a room and cry, then you absolutely should just shut up.

Typical Republican, though. Likes to talk tough then runs like a little sissy when the time comes to back it up.

1. They're all like that. Most Repubs I know are weak on the

inside, stupid on the outside.

3. you would think he once had some mettle

his reputation as a pilot is sterling. He was once shot down and evaded capture, with "great daring." He must have just lost his sand over the years.
