John McWeirdsmile. Still a Disingenuous Asshole.

DADT hearings today. Here's something what happened. The Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, who you might remember also held that post during the administration of Chimpy McCokespoon, came out (no pun intended) in support of ending DADT. He referenced the statement of the President of the United States during the SOTU, saying:

The question before us is not whether the military prepares to make this change but how we best prepare for it. We received our orders from the commander-in-chief, and we are moving out accordingly. However, we can only take this process only so far, as the ultimate decision rests with you, the Congress.

Sen. John McWeirdsmile, a twice-failed presidential candidate, was deeply disappointed with Secretary Gates' statement. He said:

I'm deeply disappointed with your statement, Secretary Gates.

Then he said:

Your statement obviously is one that is clearly biased without the view of Congress being taken into consideration...I'm happy to say that we still have a Congress of the United States to repeal don't ask don't tell, despite your efforts to repeal it in many respects by fiat.

Let's read again what Gates actually said.

The question before us is not whether the military prepares to make this change but how we best prepare for it. We received our orders from the commander-in-chief, and we are moving out accordingly. However, we can only take this process only so far, as the ultimate decision rests with you, the Congress.

John McWeirdsmile is either a disingenous asshole, or he's a fucking moron. I never thought I'd have crossed fingers for this but: Godspeed, J.D. Hayworth.
