7. Hey la, hey la Bushie's back!

Bushie's back, he's gonna save the nation
Hey la hey la Bushie's back
The media's trashed his Potemkin reputation
Hey la hey la Bushie's back

He's awful mean and he really holds a grudge
Hey la hey la Bushie's back
Wait until you're before his hand-picked judge
Hey la hey la Bushie's back

Who-whoa, Rove knows that you were spreadin'
Fa-acts he hadn't been a vettin'
You're a big shot now but they'll cut you down to size (A-woo, A-woo)
Rip out your fingernails and poke out your eyes (A-woo)
Wait and see!

10. Don't worry... any second now,

a bride will run away, or Paula Abdul will have sex with someone.

Never fear, the river of meaningless bullshit will flow unabated.

4. The other part of the schizophrenic Tweety is on display today

Hammering recruiters for tricking dumb young kids into enlisting by promising stuff they have no intention of delivering.

Had the Denver guy on who had an audio tape of a recruiter telling him to order a fake high school diploma and fake a drug test.

Why does the 'good' Tweety hate our freedoms? (tm)

6. The first boy they interviewed was 17-yrs old

was an obviously not of extreme intelligence, was told he would get $6k for a bonus, 75% of his college tuition paid for, and was going to get to be a medic.
This kid was Hispanic.
The recruiter promised the mom the same things so she signed.
Said he wouldn't have to go to the front lines and could start school since he was National Guard.
Told him he wouldn't have to go through regular boot camp, he would go to a special school and learn how to start IV's, etc.
Guess what? It was all a lie.
And the general on there said it was okay to lie because the recruiter had a job to fill boots.
If it isn't written on the contract, it didn't count.
So, they are targeting the population that will believe an agent of the government without question.
The poor and undereducated with parents that aren't savvy to these practices.

8. Oh, and they didn't give him the $6,000 bonus for signing up

Up next, the marine general in charge of recruiting.

Place dryer on 'fast' spin, please

11. Wow

That's plainly obvioulsy bullshit.

9. Ahhhh darn

People are getting hip to the need for cannon fodder,lol.

12. Well this asshat on seems to think that recruiting is all above board

Then each and every conversation that recruiters have should be on tape. They can hand the tape to the recruit after the session.
That would stop the lies.
