I mean <strong>the</strong> Democrats, I thought we would always would unite behind our troops<br />

with a pending conflict. <strong>And</strong> we have <strong>the</strong> Democratic leadership in <strong>the</strong> Senate daily<br />

attacking <strong>the</strong> President even now.<br />

-March 19, 2003<br />

You don't have to take cheap political partisan shots at <strong>the</strong> commander in chief<br />

and say to <strong>the</strong> world that he doesn't have <strong>the</strong> experience to lead when he is leading<br />

men and women into harm's way.<br />

Here we are in a conflict, in a war, and <strong>the</strong> President is trying to direct things, and<br />

<strong>the</strong>y just can't put aside <strong>the</strong>ir partisanship for five minutes and support <strong>the</strong> troops<br />

and support <strong>the</strong> President, and <strong>the</strong>se are <strong>the</strong> leaders of <strong>the</strong> Democratic Party.<br />

<strong>And</strong> a special shout-out to Colmes for never pointing out Hannity's shameless hypoc-<br />

The bombing campaign in Kosovo ended on June 10, 1999, with <strong>the</strong> signing of a peace accord.<br />

Milosevic was kicked out of Belgrade a few months later and sent to The Hague, where<br />

he's now on trial for crimes against humanity. (I say "guilty.") <strong>And</strong> as I pointed out in my<br />

joke to <strong>the</strong> troops, <strong>the</strong>re was not one American combat casualty during <strong>the</strong> entire campaign.<br />

Back again to Kosovo, 2001. Flying out in <strong>the</strong> Chinooks, <strong>the</strong>y made us wear flak<br />

jackets and helmets, which always made me feel silly. But on <strong>the</strong> last trip, as we were headed<br />

over <strong>the</strong> Sars Moun tains, <strong>the</strong> Chinook did a quick turn, <strong>the</strong>n dived. The pilot was taking evasive<br />

action. I could see tracers coming at us. We were being shot at. My first thought was<br />

about <strong>the</strong> joke I had told and how funny it would be if I were our first combat fatality in Kosovo.<br />

Ah, <strong>the</strong> mind of a trained comedian.
