McCain should know better...

3. That was TERRIFIC! He not only read McCain's entire comment (in context) but read his

PAST comments which contradicted his NEW comments. Then he went on to name 10 troops who died this month alone, troops who tried to kill or injure themselves, etc. Again-one of his best.

4. One of those brave heroes mentioned was buried today. Cody Legg , 23, of Escondido was buried today.

His mother lives around the corner from me. The street is blocked off as I write this with his family hosting family and friends in what must be the worst day of their lives. I don't know the family myself but I feel very sad nonetheless. Cody was very well liked in the community. He was buried today a Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego with Full Military Honors.




Army Sgt. Cody Legg liked to tell his mother that his unit started with eight men and he would bring all eight home.
As it turns out, he didn't make it back to U.S. soil.

His mother, Bunnie Jacquay, received a visit Wednesday from officers she never wanted to see at her Escondido home.

Earlier that day, Legg was shot while trying to save two soldiers who had been attacked by insurgents with grenades and small-arms fire in Sharqat, Iraq. All three servicemen died.

“I don't doubt he'd do it all over again,” Jacquay said yesterday of her son, who was 23. She wore a T-shirt with “Army Mom” printed in pink and hearts surrounding the words.

“He's giving me the strength to get through this,” Jacquay said. “I'm coming to find out he was an amazing person who had touched so many people.”

His father, Dave Legg, said his son was doing what he was proud of.

“He was aware of the danger, but it was not something he talked about,” he said.

Perhaps Legg was born to be a soldier. As a boy, he painted his face and ran around in camouflage. He saved his allowance money to buy a camouflage net, which he strung between trees.

In his teens, he received permission to remove a big pine tree on the front lawn and install a flagpole in its place. He never let the flag wear out, always buying a new one to make sure the display looked just right.

The pole is still there today, bearing a flag at half-staff.

Besides his patriotic acts, Legg excelled at sports. He was an outfielder for San Pasqual High School's baseball team, and he earned a letterman jacket in wrestling.

He was the all-American kid next door, said Pam Cowley, who grew up on the same block with Legg.

“He had tons of friends. Everybody liked him,” Cowley said.

Legg enlisted in the Army while finishing high school. He served his first tour in Iraq in 2005 and was on his second deployment when he died.

The last time his parents saw him was when he was home on leave in April. While there, he made a large U.S. flag out of plywood and placed it in the backyard. The flag served as the backdrop for his family's interviews with news media yesterday.

“He put five coats of lacquer on it to protect it,” Jacquay said.

She said that at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, she felt something was wrong. She scoured the Internet to find news about her son while praying she would not see his name. She went to work, and when she returned home, military officers were waiting.

A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday at Emanuel Faith Community Church, 639 E. Felicita Ave. in Escondido. Legg will be buried at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery.

The family has asked that donations be sent to the Cory Legg Scholarship Fund at San Pasqual High School, 3300 Bear Valley Parkway, Escondido, CA 92025-7315; and to Vista Murrieta High School, where his father teaches, at 28251 Clinton Keith Road, Murrieta, CA 92563.

In addition to his parents, Legg is survived his brothers, DC and Derek; two stepbrothers; and a stepfather.

5. Thank Goodness for Keith Olbermann!

Aren't his ratings going to go through the roof as this election goes on and people want to hear the facts and the truth about mccain And Obama?

6. I watched Keith Olbermann today...

I was so impressed with how he pulled all of Mccain's sh** together and really shafted McCain. I was in tears by the time Keith was done because my son is on his third tour of duty in Iraq and it has been weeks since either his wife or I have heard from him...

7. I hope you hear from you son soon! nt
