that's why reagan was so successful, bad guy does something to somebody, good guy comes along and kicks his ass or kills him...60 mins later, everyone is living happily ever after.

you can't negoiate with idots and the American people should not listen to them either.

[VadeRetro]

Another reader wondered if Gephardt preferred a Fred Astaire sort of foreign policy.

Astaire had class. Geppie probably wants to be Alan Alda.

John Wayne never hoisted a cold one, at least not in movies.

He did in The Quiet Man.

[Dan from Michigan]

Dick just lost his chance for 3 votes in my family for that statement alone.

[dighton]

I snapped.

“A John Wayne movie,” I said. “That’s what you were going to say, wasn’t it? We think war is a John Wayne movie. We think life is a John Wayne movie -- with good guys and bad guys, as simple as that. Well, you know something, Mister Limey Poofter? You’re right. And let me tell you who those bad guys are. They’re us. WE BE BAD.”

-- P.J. O'Rourke, Holidays in Hell.

[Consort]

"Quart Evans is a mighty cautious citizen..."

...but he would have offed Gephardt for saying that.

[alwaysconservative]

Notice how the liberals are always crying about how we "wasted the good will of the world after 9/11". the dems want us to be continually victims, which is the hallmark of their idealogy.

I've been thinking about this, and you're right. We were supposed to sit and snivel, not fight back, and remain victims for evermore. The rest of the world would feel sorry for us, and we could "use" that pity to extract benefits from them. That sounds about par for the Dems.

If the Duke hoisted it in the Quiet Man, it was probably a warm one.

[hometoroost]

"Foreign policy isn't a John Wayne movie, where we catch the bad guys, hoist a few cold ones, and then everything fades to black,"

He should have added..."at least it isn't when we run it. We lob a couple of missles or drop some bombs from 40,000 feet and run like hell."

[Newbomb Turk]

Al is that you. Go home your drunk again.

[Bluegrass Federalist]

Amen, pal.

[TheSpottedOwl]

An angry reader from Poplar Bluff, Mo., wrote to NewsMax, "WHAT WE NEED IS MORE JOHN WAYNE AND A HELL OF A LOT LESS FROM THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S LITTLE DICK GEPHARDT!!!"

Sounds like a FReeper :) I agree with that statement completely.

[RJS1950]

This person from Missouri got it right when she referred to them as the NATIONAL SOCIALIST DEMOCRATIC PARTY. They are this era's Nazis, in fact maybe the Nazis took their political ideas from them. The democrat party is the enemy of the constitution and this country.

[altura]

Did he? Okay, there's always someone who knows more than I do, darn it.

I'm a great one for a cold one myself, but it just didn't seem his style.

[RJCogburn]

Genuine double-rectified busthead!

Gephardt is partial to cold buttermilk.

[headsonpikes]

I've seen a lot of John Wayne Westerns....picture this...

Gephardt's the pusillanimous ribbon clerk, hiding behind a dry-goods counter, wetting himself. After the shooting stops, he'll crawl out the door to see if it's safe for his sorry *ss.

And then he'll be one of the yappers complaining about the Duke's rough justice.

Talk's always cheap after the threat has been dealt with.

Gephardt's a true tinhorn.

[wcbtinman]

"John Wayne never hoisted a cold one, at least not is the movies."

Yeah, he did. In 'Donovans Reef'.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Gephardt seems more the type who would run a Pee Wee Herman sort of Foriegn police, while adopting a Mickey Mouse policy for everything else.

[F.J. Mitchell]

We think funny little Dick is pathetic, but we are not going to pass up this opportunity to amuse ourselves at his expense.

[LibWhacker]

LOL . . . The man has no grit at all.
