http://www.nhgazette.com/cgi-bin/NHGstore.cgi?user_action=list&category=%20NEWS%3B%20Chickenhawks%3BBarking%20Head%20Brigade
Name: William "Bill" Bennett
Born: 1943
Employer: Empower America
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Bill's occupation used to be "public scold," but since his
gambling habit was exposed, he's a little less noisy on that front.
Bill's a triple-crown winner as a former bureaucrat, a propagandist,
and a barking head. (All barking heads are propagandists, but not all
propagandists are barking heads.)
Name: Ann Coulter
Conflict Avoided: Desert Storm
Notes: Critics will howl that a woman can’t be a chickenhawk. In Ann
Coulter’s case, that doesn’t matter; anyone with her level of
bellicosity deserves to be held to a higher standard.
Name: Frank Gaffney
Born: 1953
Employer: Indeterminate
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Frank here is a very clever boy. Built a thing called the
Center for Security Policy, which apparently keeps him in nice suits
so he will look good in front of the TV cameras, which can't seem to
get enough of him. As far as we can tell, Frank is a freelance
salesman for the defense industry who is paid by an elaborately
circuitous process. For all his obsession with the military, it's
funny he never served.
Name: Rep. Newton Leroy "Newt" Gingrich (R-GA)
Born: June 17, 1943
Employer: Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: A virtuoso in the art of hypocrisy, the former Speaker of the
House now claims the Vietnam War was a splendid idea, but at the time
he opposed going himself. Newtie also speaks highly of morality, but
as a serial adulterer he doesn’t want to get too close to it himself.
Name: Sean Hannity
Born: December, 1961
Employer: Rupert Murdoch
Conflict Avoided: Desert Storm
Notes: Plenty of guys his age were in Desert Storm - what's his
excuse?
Name: David Limbaugh
Born: December 11, 1952
Employer: newspapers with low standards
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: David's no fool - he stayed in school! Straight from high
school to college in '71, where he stayed 'till '75, when the war was
safely over. Poly sci major, wouldn't you know? The least annoying of
the Limbaugh brothers, but only because he's more obscure.
Name: Rush Limbaugh
Born: 1951
Employer: Yack Radio
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Where to begin ... a joke about the Hindenburg? No, let's go
right to the reason he had to stay home from the war - the world's
most famous anal cyst. He's denied it, but www.snopes.com, the Urban
Legends Reference Pages, has got the goods on him.
Name: William "Bill" O'Reilly
Born: 1949
Employer: Rupert Murdoch
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Bill O’Reilly loves to come off as a straight-talking,
blue-collar kind of guy. Funny, a lot of guys who fit that description
and graduated high school the same year he did - 1967 - went straight
to Vietnam. Not our Bill - he went to college. And he didn’t just go
to college, he spent his junior year, 1969-1970, in London. He
graduated in 1971, briefly exposing him to the draft again, but Bill
was miraculously spared.
Name: Michael Reagan
Born: March 18, 1946
Employer: Yack Radio
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: What are the odds anyone would know who he is if everybody
didn't know who his daddy was? What are the odds he would have escaped
the draft if his name had been Manual Rodriguez?
Name: Michael Savage
Born: Unk.
Employer: UNK.
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: We're not sure if this frothing lunatic is still on the air.
Didn't he get canned for saying all gays should contract AIDS and die?
If only he could have channeled all that animosity against Ho Chi Minh
- we'd be selling Big Macs in Vietnam today!
Name: Rep. Joseph "Joe" Scarborough (R-FL)
Born: April 9, 1963
Employer: MSNBC
Conflict Avoided: Desert Storm
Notes: A former Republican congresman (1995-2002) turned Faux News
motormouth, Joe qualifies as a politician and a barking head. Where
were you during Desert Storm, pal?
