Congress Says Having Peter Pace in the Military is "Immoral"

President Butch has got to be aggrieved that the Democrats (and ticked-off Republicans) have won again: Chairman of Joint Chiefs Peter Pace is out.

Poor Butchie will miss Peter as a play-mate. He was like the early-Cabinet-era Colin Powell: He drank the Kool-Aid. He stood with Bush on "Stay the Course," stood with Bush on "It's Not a Civil War, it's a Burgeoning Democracy, Thanks to Us," stood with Bush on "We Need a Surge," and then he went out and took the lumps for George. Even better, he took the initiative to stand in front of the listening world as the second-in-command of the United States military and call homosexuality "immoral." What a stand-up guy!

Sit down, Peter.
