That Admiral deserves a medal for the way he handled the situation.

I can understand him keeping a straight face if 10 cruise missiles were racing towards his ship, but true grace under pressure was not dying of laughter while being questioned by Hank the Wank

I really liked how all the Admiral’s aides, typing furiously on their BlackBerrys, all looked up and stared at the congressman. That had to have been a very educational moment for them.

RE Straight face:

I couldn’t have done it. I’d have said “Sir, you truly are a f*cking moron, and have zero business questioning me.”

>> That Admiral deserves a medal for the way he handled the situation. Agree. If I were the Admiral, I don't know which would have been more difficult: not laughing or not going into shock at the thought that someone could be that stupid. >> That had to have been a very educational moment for them. There are plenty of libs who would have you think that all are benevolent geniuses. When reality collides with their fantasy world, it comes as a big shock. I like to think I have a reasonably good grasp of reality, but even I was shocked at the stupidity level. My initial reaction, after disbelief, was to think that he must have been on drugs. That is giving him the benefit of the doubt - a kinder explanation that to assume he was stone cold sober. It's hard to believe someone could muster up that much stupidity without artificial augmentation.

The look on the admiral’s face was priceless and the vid tells more than the mere words.
