Bill Bennett on CNN...

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

"Give war a chance."

Not kidding, I just heard him say it. How do you argue with somebody like that?

[Fleshdancer]

1. why? is he taking bets on it or something?

What an idiot.

[bloom]

2. He should make bumperstickers.

:crazy: :grr:

[jimshoes]

3. Tried it Bill

it sucked.

[karlrschneider]

4. Well, who would know more about "chances"?

:eyes:

[fooj]

5. A chance for what?

The guy is certifiable.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

10. I wonder if someone...

...could design a creative non-violent plan for world peace that would involve the prolific use of slot machines---I'll bet we could get Billy on board for that peace plan.

[malaise]

6. Can you fugging believe that

The fascists have taken over.

[sgxnk]

[xchrom]

13. the reich wing's piss poor excuse for a gonzo journalist.

[malaise]

14. Got yah! n/t

[karlrschneider]

15. I've often wondered what the hell happened to P.J.

30 years ago he was fairly sane.
:eyes:

[Gabi Hayes]

26. except Bennett's funny..... ORourke is not

[patcox2]

7. Mr. Morality! The Virtues! War War War!

My God, they are reveling in that they feel they have finally beaten back John Lennon and hippie dippie peacenickism.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. John Lennon just turned over in his grave. Maybe Ono can sue Bennett .

[smokey nj]

11. Would somebody PLEASE chain that man to a slot machine!! n/t

[Kingofalldems]

12. As long as he doesn't have to go

and of course his children won't go either.

[hootinholler]

16. Ok, I'm lost...

What are all the slot machine references???

-Hoot

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

20. Here's WAPO's treatment of it...

[hootinholler]

23. Thanks, missed that. n/t

[warrens]

17. Like I said before

Give raped and murdered teenage girls a chance. That scumbag needs his face worked over with a Garden WeaselTM. But only for a few hours.

[WI_DEM]

18. Jesus, Bill shouldn't you be in some casino in Vegas?

[City Lights]

19. It disgusts me that CNN continues to give him air time.

If he wants to give war a chance, he should send his kids, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, etc. What a jackass.

[Nay]

21. Why is this old fraud asked his opinion on ANYTHING?

He's a compulsive gambler, a high roller who likes hookers, and an obese food-obsessed shell of a person. Who the hell cares what he thinks?

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

22. Apparently CNN thinks he's...

...a respected RW pundit, and they know they can count on him to deliver what their corporate keepers want to hear.

[spanone]

24. Sadly pathetic. Deranged. Psychotic. Dangerous.

[Skidmore]

25. Gee, Billy, I thought we'd been giving war a chance for half a decade

now. Earth to Billy--it ain't working.

[tabasco]

27. Funny how Bennett never gave it a chance.

He was 22 when Nam was getting hot.

[leftchick]

28. "All we are saaaaayyyyinnnggg Is Give WAR a Chance!"

sounds like a catchy tune. :eyes:
