Max Cleland: "I wasn't really wounded in Viet Nam...

[wyldwolf]

... I went duck hunting with Dick Cheney!" :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Max Cleland
GA JJ Dinner tonight.

[waiting for hope]

1. Thank you ...

you made me giggle. That's the first good Cheney Shooting joke I've heard in a while..:D

[Erika]

2. Marvelous

Cleland is one classy guy.

[IsItJustMe]

3. Max is one hell of a true patriot in book. Not one of these chickenhawks.

[BlackHeart]

4. Oh my, I bet that made

the crowd gasp. I would have.

[Kurovski]

12. Nah, they were probably somewhat liquored up, and already

familiar with Cleland and his ways.

In a shocking era, even the humor by necessity is taken up a notch. The people in the White House are rather horrific, nasty and even murderous people who have stood everything on its head...don't you agree?

Welcome to DU!

[Nothing Without Hope]

21. WELCOME TO DU!!! Doesn't sound to me like your heart is black -

maybe your name refers to the Bushies. ;) :hi:

Cleland has been through so much for such a long time and his courage and integrity have never failed. He's a true inspiration:

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." –Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, physician, and musician (1875-1965)

[stillcool]

5. Now, that is priceless.....

[jillan]

6. Now that was great!

#5!

[Adelante]

7. He's beautiful

Really.

[IndyOp]

8. Excellent comeback!

:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[AtomicKitten]

9. He ought to do a commercial.

To counter all the foul innuendos that were made against him when he lost his race. It would poke fun at the Republicans' ridiculous accusations. I'm beginning to think ridicule might be appropriate this election season. How can we not point and laugh?

[Kurovski]

10. That guy is fuckin' funny for real...

:rofl: I wish Bill Maher would have him back again on his show, Real Time.

[Olney Blue]

11. Gotta love him!

[Kurovski]

13. I do, I do, I do! Dammit, I love that man!

And I hate it when I feel that way about political figures, but I can't help myself.

[SeattleGirl]

14. What a hoot! Bravo, Max!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[stillrockin]

15. hardee har har

:rofl:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

16. *rimshot!*

Good one!

[Up2Late]

17. Did he really say that!

Wow!

[Kurovski]

18. Was Wyldwolf there at the dinner?

Were you, wolf? How did you find this out?

[wyldwolf]

22. I was at the dinner. Evan Bayh was the keynote speaker

[Kurovski]

30. Thanks!

And thanks for reporting, I heard about it on C-SPAN today, but they didn't tell us about the best part!

[BikeWriter]

19. Aww, shit. Poor Max.

[Neil Lisst]

20. that guy's attitude is amazing

I don't know how he's done it.

[MrBenchley]

23. Great line!

Thanks for sharing....

[BootinUp]

24. great sense of humor.

Thats a riot.

[Mad_Dem_X]

25. Oh, SNAP!

:spray:

[kiteinthewind]

26. Too funny!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[zulchzulu]

27. Another good joke Bush said about Cheney...

Bush: "I looked at the latest polls and I see that the number is around 34%. Dick Cheney asked me what's my secret."

[mvd]

28. Good one

:rofl:

Yes, he aught to be giving it to them after what they did to him.

[Minnesota Libra]

29. OMG this is just 2 too cool!!!! Did you..........

....get this from something Cleland actually said?? I love it!!:rofl: :applause: :rofl: :applause: :rofl: :applause:

edited for more emotion

[wyldwolf]

31. I was about 20 yards in front of him

[WildEyedLiberal]

32. LMAO

I love Max.

[otohara]

33. Gotta Love Max

:toast: :yourock: :loveya:

[Kurovski]

34. Kick.nt

[Rainscents]

35. Best line ever!

I saw Max during 2004 election... He is true American hero!

[Agony]

36. More about Max

If you want to know more about Max Cleland find the documentary about him called "Strong at the Broken Places". I had tears in my eyes while watching it, he makes me proud to be an American. Kind of hard to feel that way these days.

[Carla in Ca]

37. Max Cleland, you are one-of-a-kind

Bravo!

BTW, my husband's boss sent him a joke email yesterday. It explained how nervous the WH is regarding the bird flu. The Commander-In-Competent thought for a moment and then said "Let's bomb the Canary Islands!"

Also, one of his co-workers has had enough. He finally took down his * calendar a few weeks ago and threw it in the trash.

[windbreeze]

38. OMG actually made me lol.....Thank you...and

My hat's off to Max Clelland...after what that man has been through, for him to be able to joke at all, is wonderful...

[Kurovski]

39. Kick for Max' big, beautiful heart and humor that just won't quit!

[Tiggeroshii]

40. Is he planning on running to win back his seat?

...By chance? Maybe next time he won't get diebolded

[Kurovski]

41. Just one more kick,

in case someone missed this.

[CarolNYC]

42. Oh, that's perfect! n/t

[Jeffersons Ghost]

43. LOL

That's a good one.

[Daylin Byak]

44. Good one Max.....

I really wish he would return to the Senate, it's a shame what Saxby Chambliss and the other repukes did when they played dirty politics to get him out of the Senate like comparing him to Bin Laden and saying that he's unpatriotic.

Yeah and this was coming from a guy(Chambliss)who fucking dodged the Vietnam war.

[Kurovski]

45. Amazing, ain't it?

There is also some evidence that Diebold played a part as well.
