I'm surprised Ilario Pentano wasn't fragged

[CatWoman]

for all of you who don't know him, he was a guest on Jon Stewart last night.

That guy was completely nuts. Er, IS completely nuts.

His sanctimonious preaching aside, why would he rather be in Iraq than at the birth of his own child?

Why would he show his men tapes of 9/11 to justify their presence in Iraq?

He is a piss poor officer, leader, and author.

IMO.

1. amen!!! check this

[CatWoman]

2. Hey Snoogums!!

thanks!!

[Gabi Hayes]

4. how does it feel to be a Lamont operative?

WTF is up with that TV station?

not TOO much in the Loserman camp, hey?

[CatWoman]

7. heh

Joe has friends in low places

[Skidmore]

3. He was on Hardball last night, and Matthews was impressed with

him. Recommended he consider going to law school at the end of the interview. Pantano is a miserable little sociopath.

[Gabi Hayes]

5. Matthews was looking into the eyes of a soulmate in Pantano

I watched about thirty seconds of that horrorshow

[CatWoman]

6. Did you see "Apocalypse Now"?

he reminded me of the Col. Kurtz character

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

8. He kept refering to his troops as his "boys" or his "children."

And the stupid dick is barely 35. Sanctimonious prick.

[CatWoman]

10. LOL

you're starting to sound like me!!!

And the stupid dick is barely 35. Sanctimonious prick.

9. The biggest ass

I've seen/heard in a long time. This guy's ego and self-importance was so big I'm surprised Jon could even get into the same room with him.

Cheers

[catzies]

11. Wasn't that awful? I switched off when he said that re his child's birth

That man has no blod in his veins, just a lot of ice-cold Kool-Aid.

[OwnedByFerrets]

12. I was so mad...

I was screaming at the television. As I wrote last nite when it happened, what as ass for associating 911 and the reason we are in Iraq. Still makes me want to

[lies and propaganda]

13. that 911 reference made me ill

Jon kinda called him on it but i would have been wayy more blunt with it.

[Buzz Clik]

44. Two things about that...

In watching the interview for a second time, it was clear that his reference to 9/11 was primarily to show his troops "what it is like when America is under attack", and that's a legitimate point. He did, however, go on to say that fight in Iraq was to ensure that we don't get attacked again on American soil, which of course is crapola. And, as you said, Stewart pointed that out to him.

28. nothing about that asshole was admirable

He is a murdering, lieing, living monster who should be taken out back and shot.

[CatWoman]

32. exactly

he's no different from those monsters who raped that teenager.

"He shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die"

[genie_weenie]

15. Hey some Marines like War.

I've known a few Zeros like him.

[Buzz Clik]

16. Sense of duty?

Just a thought...

[genie_weenie]

23. Do you mean for Pantano?

Because that may well be. But, the question is: Isn't society responsible for men like Pantano?

[annabanana]

24. you mean like the oath?

that whole "Constitution" thing?

[Buzz Clik]

29. You've lost me ...

Serving in the military is a violation of the Constitution? Surely that isn't what you mean...

[devilgrrl]

30. What's stopping you from signing up cowboy?

Huh?

36. ... again?

LOL! Your comment is reminiscent of the knuckledragger's response when we object to cutting taxes for the rich: "If you're so in love with taxes, why don't you give more?"

[CatWoman]

38. why not?

I'm quite sure there are plenty of Iraqis left for you to shoot in the back, like your hero.

[Buzz Clik]

40. My goodness. Such animosity.

Keep in mind he was acquitted.

[CatWoman]

41. what do you expect when you call someone a freeper on drugs?

hugs and kisses?

and YOU keep in mind that the one witness "recanted".

Wonder who turned the screws? Or was "he" threatened with a bullet in the back?

[CatWoman]

21. me, too

in MOS school I had the privilege of getting to know a bunch Marines (we were in DOD school; all services attended).

those guys were a HOOT!!!!

Never saw a fight they didn't want to start, or back down from.

Having said that, they weren't raving lunatics like this moran.

[genie_weenie]

26. True that's why I typed

a few zeros. Some were almost humaniods.

[Zhade]

34. Only psychopaths/sociopaths LIKE war.

NT!

[CatWoman]

35. And only the like minded defend them

[Avalux]

17. The guy is a first class creep.

The bit about taking pics of 9/11 with him to show his troops why they were in Iraq pissed me off. Then he went into a rather detailed account of returning home to his pregnant wife and while with her at the hospital, wished he were back in combat with his "other family". There was just something about him - something insincere and completely phony. I think he's a sociopath.

[Swamp Rat]

18. Yeah, he came across as a real

PSYCHO!

Keep your eyes on this one.

[CatWoman]

20. his brother is posting in this thread

that's two........

[Buzz Clik]

22. Wonderful. You admire Rove so much you emulate his style?

"You're either with us or against us."

Repugnant.

[Swamp Rat]

27. Watch out! She'll scratch your eyes out!

25. When he said everone in Iraq volunteered

I had to turn away. I don't usually bail on Daily Show guests but that man made me ill.

[bobthedrummer]
