Fire His Ass

And, speaking of pushing, can I just say this:

When General Stanely McChrystal gave Rolling Stone an interview in which he mocked the Vice President, ("Bite me" was how his advisors termed it) and also said he thought Obama looked "uncomfortable and intimidated" by a room full of top military officials, he was pushing too far.

This is not a moment for tolerance or that famous calmness, Mr. President. This guy is a playground bully who has called you out. As my sassy friend Jocelyn says, sometimes you just have to unload the whammy. He needs a permanent time out. Or, as M suggests, a reassignment to latrine duties. 

If there is one thing that makes a democracy work, it's civilian control of the military. McChrystal's interview was a very public total blow off of the chain of command.

President Obama, fire his ass.
