NY Post: "Republicans Nix 'Apprentice'"

"Apprentice" punk Kelly Perdew the boot. The brash Perdew, now working for Donald Trump after winning the second season of "The Apprentice," was slated to emcee Saturday's black-tie dinner at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, which closed the Young Republican National Convention. But convention chairman Nathan Taylor got fed up with Perdew's irksome antics and unceremoniously disinvited the former Marine at the last moment. A fired-up Taylor tells PAGE SIX's Fernando Gil: "Who does this guy think he is? Just because he works for Donald Trump doesn't give him the right to demand first-class airfare, limousine rides, and act like a total prima donna. He's been a total nightmare for me!" Since winning "The Apprentice," Perdew has garnered a reputation for being difficult. As we reported in May, he threw a drunken fit aboard an airplane and ranted to dumbfounded fellow passengers, "Do you know who I am?!"

<SNIP>

Oh those crazy junior league Republicans! Who does that guy think he is anyway. I'm not too terribly familiar with the Apprentice, but he should be a lot more respectful when he's around such a large group of accomplished Young Republicans, who have gallantly defended our nation on the frontlines (of their computer terminals).

You know what probably drives them nuts is that this Apprentice guy had to fight it out to get his current position and wealth, whereas they had to earn it the old fashioned way -- from Daddy.

1. The young rethugs refuse honors to a former Marine?

Why do young rethugs hate the military? Why do they hate America?

3. Do you really have to ask that question?

They hate us for our freedom. :)

5. Actually Perdew was never Marines

He graduated from West Point and served in the Army in Intelligence. And guess who appointed him to West Point - Darth Cheney!

4. And they're not kidding?

"Who does this guy think he is? Just because he works for Donald Trump doesn't give him the right to demand first-class airfare, limousine rides, and act like a total prima donna. He's been a total nightmare for me!"

Gosh...I thought Republicans loved Donald Trump...

Now if he was the kid of the President, it'd be okay, right?
