Dumb ass of the week award!

Actually two members of the U.S House of Representative's will share in the "dumb ass of the week award."

Two GOP House members are making an embarrassingly desperate plea to Leon Panetta, Secretary of Defense, to postpone the Sept. 20th repeal of the Military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy.

House Armed Serivces Committee Chairman Buck Mckeon (R-CA) and house member Joe Wilson (R-SC) are basically saying the Military has not adequately prepared for the repeal of DADT, and more time is needed to conduct further studies.
The official response from the Pentagon, "DENIED!"


In fact, General Carter Ham, who was the co-chair of the Pentagon's study group examining the effects of repealing DADT, said he felt lifting the ban was likely to prove "pretty inconsequential." and went on to say the military's approach is "business as usual."


Last ditch desperation is never flattering! Sorry guys!  Welcome to the 21st Century!
