Bite me, Ted.

Crazy Uncle Ted is at it again! How did this man become a bazillionaire? He's a freakin' loon!

On PBS' Charlie Rose Show, Turner imparted his lack of wisdom. He began by ranting about global warming. He asserted, "We'll be eight degrees hotter in ten, not ten but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals."

1. Teddy, I want what you are smoking, because you are too old to think that you'll still be here in 30-40 years. (You are very weather-beaten with leather-like skin and no one would want to eat you!)

2. All that hot air he's blowing is going to melt icebergs and strand polar bears. (Hypocrite is contributing to global warming. Guess that adds a couple of degrees.)

Did Ted stop there? No. He moved on to bigger and better things by calling the insurgents in Iraq patriots. Yeah. Even Charlie Rose looked like he wanted to smack some sense into the geezer.

Here's a gem from the story:

"Turner ridiculed the need for a big U.S. military, insisting 'China just wants to sell us shoes. They're not building landing craft to attack the United States,' and 'even with our $500 billion military budget, we can't win in Iraq. We're being beaten by insurgents who don't even have any tanks.' After Rose pointed out the Iraqi insurgents 'have a lot of roadside bombs that kill a lot of Americans' and wondered 'where do you think they come from?', Turner answered: 'I think that they're patriots and that they don't like us because we've invaded their country and occupied it. I think if the Iraqis were in Washington, D.C., we'd be doing the same thing: we'd be bombing them too. Nobody wants to be invaded.'"

1. We are not being beaten. (Seriously, how did this guy live the American Dream and turn out so half-assed and stupid in his views? Myopic twit!)

2. A HUGE percentage of the insurgents are NOT from Iraq! They are from surrounding countries and are paid for what they do. They are not fighting for the Iraqis, either.

We are at war with the elements that are trying to destroy Iraq and its people. I was never under the impression we were at war the people of Iraq (unless they were supporters of Saddam).

How many times did your mamma dump you on your head, colorizing cook? Huh? Did jungle-rot Jane warp you this much? Are you that delluded into thinking that your beliefs are mainstream and correct?

So, in 30-40 years we'll be eating each other and insurgents are akin to people who fought for freedom? Hmmm... Ass.
