Chuckie Watch 25: Chuckie Gits Responsible

First Chuckie Watch of the new year! Chuckie posted a couple of thoroughly forgettable messages over the holidays. But now he's swinging back to the Dark Side, serving up some red meat more likely to please his rightwing book publisher Regnery Press. Of course, Chuckie's red meat usually shows definite signs of BSE contamination. But we won't let that bother us.

In his latest (Get Real 01/09/04), Chuckie says people need to be responsible:

If you walk into a convenience store with a gun in your hand and somebody blows your head off it's your own fault.

Well, Chuckie, I can't really argue with you on that! (Maybe Chuckie should consider moving to a different neighborhood.) The folks at Regnery might be a little leery, though, because you're implying that law-abiding gun owners don't have the right to be packing heat at the 7-11. But we'll let that slide. He finally gits to the BSE red meat at the end:

If you are a cruel dictator who has used chemical weapons to murder your own people, if you have had people beaten and throw off roofs, ... if you have subjected your country to two wars you knew you couldn't win resulting in the killing of thousands upon thousands, if you have defied the world and thumbed your nose at the warnings, you deserve all the humiliation and whatever harsh justice you receive.

Gosh, Chuckie I assume you mean Saddam Hussein here, though that habit of almost never telling us just what the heck your'e talking about sometimes makes it hard to tell.

But, uh, Chuckie, your Regnery editors may freak when they see that paragraph. Subjecting your country to wars that can't be won? Last time I checked the news earlier today, we were pretty far from "winning" either the Afghan War or the Iraq War. And, if you defy the world and thumb your nose at the warnings, "you deserve all the humilation and whatever harsh justice you receive"?!?!

Chuckie, you aren't going French on us, are you? Surely you aren't suggesting that Bush the Magnificent, Liberator of Peoples and Scourge of the Heathen, might be in some legal trouble over all this, are you?

Chuckie, you've really got to stop ordering French fries with your BSE burgers!
