Wingnut radio hosts in Iraq for 2 days--in Kuwait for 3.
...The talkers will stop Friday at Central Command in Tampa, Fla., to throw a thank-you barbecue for the military. Then they'll fly commercially to Kuwait and be transported by military planes to Camp Victory in Baghdad, where each will broadcast two days of shows next week. Next, they're headed to Camp Arifjan in Kuwait for three more days of shows...

..."And if they think that the military is going to let something happen to them while they're over there, c'mon," said comedian Al Franken, who hosts a talk show on the liberal Air America radio network that is broadcast in the Bay Area. "That's how stupid these people are. They think they can walk around and talk to shopkeepers. They don't realize how dangerous it is over there." ...

Many have already heard about this idiotic effort to feed their drooling listeners, but this is just laughable. They're going to be doing their shows from inside US military bases to 'get the truth about Iraq'--and will be spending more time outside Iraq than in it. Idiots.

1. Hmm, I bet it's the first time they'll actually be in a war too.
Hm, too bad they're going in to war about 30 years too late.

Perhaps they could work up to actually signing up to go fight since they seem to like war so much - maybe they can take the place of all the other troops fighting without any armour.
