What a dick

2. A teaser to a story coming up....i just thought the statement was absurd

like when * landed on the A/C Carrier and (If i am not mistaken) Hannity called him "The Commander and Chief of the free world"

6. OK...It was a short (20 seconds) bit about Santorum complaining about

SS reform being dropped and ignored.

11. So it was more of a bloviated whine than an actual lashing out?

4. Since when? In a Dictatorship

I'm sure this is the case in places like Saudi Arabia, home to Bandar Bush. Maybe in the old USSR that was the way it was too.

5. My first question as well---C in C of whom?

Not unless the Replicant complaining is in the military.

7. The President is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces ONLY

not of the American people.

:grr: It's just more Rovian phrasing to rile up and confuse the stupid sheeple who don't know any better. :(

10. Yeah, this "commander in chief" bullshit has got to stop.

A president is the commander in chief of the armed forces. Period. But little Bunnypants wants us to think of him as our commander. Fuck that.

Bush also had the use of the term taken away from military leaders, who also used it in the past.
