This seems like a really good idea, someone who will tell those biased
numnuts in the White House Press Corp exactly what you or me would like to
say.


.....U.S. Press Secretary......

R. Lee Ermey, for the few of you that missed it, was the host of The
History
Channel's "Mail Call" and played the D.I. in the movie Full Metal Jacket.

R. Lee is a retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant and a very plain speaker as
you
will soon read. So, for your entertainment, here is Retired Marine Gunnery
Sergeant R. Lee Ermey at his first press conference as U.S. Press
Secretary.

The main topic of discussion is the Marine in Iraq who shot the Iraq
insurgent to death. We pick up as the reporter asks about how this
potential
war crime will effect our image in the world:

Ermey: "What kind of a pansy-assed question is that?"

Reporter: "Well I think...."

Ermey: "THINK, nancy boy? Get this through that septic tank on top of your
shoulders moron, I DON'T GIVE A F*CK WHAT YOU THINK, DO YOU UNDERSTAND
ME???
That Marine shot an ENEMY COMBATANT SH*THEAD, SO GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR
ASS AND DEAL WITH IT BEFORE I MAKE YOU MY OWN PERSONAL PIN CUSHION!!!

Next question. You in the blue suit."

Reporter 2: Don't you think that the world's opinion of our
operations is important?

Ermey: "Oh sure! You don't know the times I have cried myself to sleep
worrying about what some g*ddamned French pansy thinks! Oh the days I have
had to weep because some sh*t eating terrorist f*cker might be mad at us
because we went into whatever god-forsaken hole in the sh*t that he lives
in
and killed him. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF DUMBASS QUESTION IS THAT YOU PETER
PUFFING JACKASS?? WE ARE THE MOTHER F*CKING USA, AND WHEN YOU ATTACK US WE
ARE GOING TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND BLOW YOUR STINKING CAMEL-LICKING
CARCASS
INTO PIECES SO SMALL WE WILL BE ABLE TO BURY YOUR SORRY ASS IN A THIMBLE!!

I know what you are thinking. You are probably afraid, thinking that I
have
such an "extreme" attitude and that I need to be ore "sensitive" to other
people's feelings. WELL LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING YOU POLE SMOKING PANSY!
I
DON'T GIVE 2 SH*TS WHAT YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE THINKS! THIS IS A DAMN WAR,
AND
IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THAT YOU SHOULD GO HOME AND SUCK ON MAMMA'S TIT!! DO
YOU
HEAR ME YOU RUNT?? NOW GET THE F*CK OUT OF MY PRESS ROOM BEFORE I GO CRAZY
AND BEAT THE LIVING SH*T OUT OF YOU!!!

Next question, you with the ugly assed tie. Look at that thing. It is
hideous."

Reporter 3: "Aren't you going against the freedom of the press by..."

Ermey: "FREEDOM?? WHAT IN BLUE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT FREEDOM? I HAVE
SWEATED MY ASS OFF IN JUNGLES BEING SHOT AT FOR THIS NATION!! WHAT IN THE
HELL HAVE YOU DONE YOU LITTLE SH*T SUCKING WEASEL? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU PUT YOUR ASS ON THE LINE FOR ANYTHING? AND YET YOU HAVE THE
UNMITIGATED
TEMERITY TO SHOW UP HERE AND MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK THE ACTIONS OF A
MARINE WHO WAS DEFENDING HIMSELF AND HIS UNIT FROM ATTACK BY SOME
MURDEROUS
AL-QUEDA SYMPATHIZER!!! YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT NUMNUTS?
I
AM CONCERNED ABOUT A BUNCH OF GRABASSTIC, DISORGANIZED MORONS WITH CAMERAS
AND MICROPHONES DOING THEIR BEST TO PORTRAY OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN AS WAR
CRIMINALS! I AM CONCERNED ABOUT CHICKEN SH*T PANSIES THAT WANT US TO
NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS AND THEN WHINE ABOUT THEIR PISS ANT
"FREEDOMS"!!"

Reporter 3: "I..."

Ermey: "Did you have a big bowl of stupid for breakfast this morning,
numbnuts? I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER WORD OUT OF THAT COMMIE CRYHOLE IN
THAT SH*TPILE YOU CALL A HEAD! AND THAT GOES TRIPLE FOR THE REST OF YOU
PANSY-ASSED MORONS! NOW GET THE F*CK OUT OF MY PRESS ROOM BEFORE I SHOVE
MY
BOOT SO FAR UP YOUR ASS THAT YOU CHOKE TO DEATH ON MY SHOELACES!!!!"
 
Why in the world would we want anyone working as the official spokesperson for the gov to the world media that was against the Bill of Rights?

"Against the bill of Rights?", you ask.

Well, yes, by your own admission he has no regard for the 1st. amendment. They all go together you know. If we loose the first, the second can't be far behind.

R. Lee Ermey is an idiot. He is the reason that I don't watch Maill Calll very much. Very interesting show, but I can't stand the guy.
 
The 1st Amendment is about the right to speak. It is not about the right to ask stupid questions, nor does it require that questions be answered.

If you think that the admission indicated antipathy or hostility towards the 1st Amendment, I think you need to reconsider. The supposed quote goes to the arrogance that the media depicts, crying about its freedom while offering up nothing in exchange for said freedom. Questioning the committment to freedom of someone who fought and bled for that freedom is a true insult, especially when it comes from a group that historically has been willing to deny freedom of expression to others by selective quotes or revision of history.

Freedom of expression has the free and full exchange of ideas and information at its heart. To the extent that the media (or anyone else) attempts to modify or mold the information being conveyed by others, this is as much an abridgement of the 1st Amendment as outright censorship. In fact, it's often worse than censorship as it is easier to get away with. The media has no love for the 1st Amendment; they have a love for their own power.
 
Okay, forget what I said about the 1st.

How's this, R. Lee Ermy is still an idiot who I wouldn't want to have to listen to on the news.

YMMV ;)

For those of you who find R. Lee Ermey entertaining, wether he's an idiot or not, ammoman.com has a soundboard of him on the funpage...

Warning: The language at the soundboard is uncut, and as if those of you who have seen FMJ dont know, its unfit for children and grammaws.

Acid test for those in the public eye.

Would you want them as a neighbour?

In this case yes. His colourful and creative use of vernacular alone would qualify him. Correct me if I'm wrong but was he not a real GSgt.? Another excellent reason to have him around.

Bill

Gentleman with more experience than myself can tell me please if they really talk like this. Excuse my editing.

You are nothing but unorganised, grabasstic peices of amphibian excrement. Hell, I like you, you can come round my house and *** my sister.
Texas? Only steers and whatever come from Texas and I don't see any horns.
What is your major malfunction?
I didn't know they stacked whatever that high etc. All genius. :)
 
I don't think ART'S GRANDMAW would approve!
I don't think that that's THE HIGH ROAD!


:rolleyes: I had to say it before someone else did. I thought it was hilarious. I read it first thing this morning and the phrase "Big bowl of stupid" is a great way to start the day.
 
"Correct me if I'm wrong but was he not a real GSgt.?"

Um, yes and no. IIRC he was medically retired as a SSgt, then advanced in grade to GYSgt by a special act of the Commandant of the Marine Corps for his representation of the Corps.
 
Would I want him as a neighbor? That depends. If he is going to be doing his DI character constantly, no. While I found the creative use of profanity by the drills vastly entertaining at Ft. Leonard Wood, it isn't something I want my toddler hearing, nor would I like a neighbor who bellows like that. When it comes to neighbors quiet = good.
I wouldn't want him as press secretary, either. When questions are asked of our politicians, I want those questions answered, not dodged...even if the dodge is phrased in an entertainingly profane way.

Whatever Ermey was, he is an actor now.

Exactly. As much as people here hate the media, if they wern't around can you imagine what the gov would do. You think they are going to send out a newsletter letting all of the citizens know what they are up to? The press are the folks that keep us informed and keep the gov in check, or at least try to.

Would I want him as a neighbor? Well, I guess if I wanted him as a neighbor I would go join the Marines. At least then I would get paid to listen to him.

You know, I've spent too much of my day thinking about ol' R. Lee. Like Joe Demko said, he is just an actor. I'm out of here. Have a good 'un.

Peace out,
Calhoun
 
When I was in boot camp in San Diego in '67 Ermey was a DI in another Platoon. It didn't matter though they all went to the same school and sounded alike. The DI's used to form the four platoons of a series next to each other and the twelve DI's would stand to the rear and tell us to only move on our DI's command. Then one DI would say "Foward - March" If any one moved but the privates in that DI's platoon one of their DI's would come from the rear and right hook you in the mouth with their closed fist. Taught you to listen up and obey commands.
Anyone that doesnt like or appreciate Gunny Ermey is a 'Retardeau' coined by Kerry. Means, Finished before Completed. Just as he was.
oohRaa
Semper Fi, Do or Die at 8th and I.
If you don't know what that means you got no right to criticize the Gunny.
 
The Gunny is an idiot????

HEY, CALHOUN...YOU EXAMPLE OF WASTED HUMAN PLASMA!

I KNOW NOW WHY ABORTION SHOULD BE MANDATORY YOU GRABBASTIC PIECE OF SWINE PLACENTA!

DO I REALLY, REALLY CARE WHAT A STREET MANHOLD COVER HAS TO THINK ABOUT ME???????

GO BACK TO THE CAVE AND SUCKLE ON THAT DOG YOU CALL YOUR GIRLFRIEND, AND, IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED "SHE" IS A MALE!

Just, kidding, of course, Calhoun...but I couldn't resist.....and, afterall, if you don't realize it you opened the door. But, I think you did it purposely :D .

R. Lee is hilarious and I love watching the program.
 
I would love to have the Gunny as a neighbor. Think of all the cool toys that you would get to help him test occasionally.

Back in 2000 I was telling anyone who would listen that either Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams needed to be Bush's Press Secretary if he won (this was early 2000 ;) ). Can you just imagine what either one of them could have done to Helen Thomas :evil: .
 
Gunny's value is he will say what normal people think, perhaps with a little more gusto. The comedy valuation is quite high.

If you really want to intimidate the WH press corp make Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell Press secretary. Those two dudes will exposed the shallow thinking and nihlistic philosophy in short order. Maybe they could alternate months.
