Roast the Chickenhawks: Jon Sugg www.sfgate.com There's no shortage of chicken hawks in Washington and the bellicose blowhards of the media. Here's a sampling: -- George W. Bush. Dubya lied repeatedly in the 2000 campaign about his "service" in the Texas Air National Guard. The truth is that his family's influence got him into the Guard, jumping over about 100,000 men on the waiting list. Once in, he disappeared from duty -- in military jargon, he went AWOL. And, documents show that he fibbed when he claimed he volunteered for overseas duty -- he specifically refused to volunteer. -- Dick Cheney. He, too, could have served in Vietnam, but claims he "had other priorities." -- John Ashcroft. He was engaged in a nationally critical pursuit of teaching business education during Vietnam. -- Administration insiders: Spencer Abraham, Elliott Abrams, Ken Adelman, John Bolton (the most "kill 'em all" fellow at the State Department), Andrew Card, Asa Hutchinson, Richard Perle (leader of the War Party and advocate of regime-changing wars throughout the Middle East), Harvey Pitt (corporate scandal cover-up guy), Paul Wolfowitz (vice-leader of the War Party, who bellows for military dominance of most of Eurasia). -- Other politicians: Rep. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., a super-patriot, all- American guy who, during the Vietnam era, cowered behind student deferments and then a football injury to his knee; Lamar Alexander, former governor of Tennessee now running for U.S. Senate; soon-to-be ex-Congressman Bob Barr, R- Ga.; Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas; ex-Speaker Newt Gingrich; Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas; current Speaker Dennis Hastert; Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn.; Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala. -- Bloodthirsty pundits: Roger Ailes (Fox), Wolf Blitzer (CNN), Sean Hannity (Fox), Charles Krauthammer (columnist), Bill O'Reilly (Fox), George Will (columnist). -- Distaff: Generally women don't make the chicken hawk list. But blood-and- guts Barbie doll columnist Ann Coulter, who (among other atrocities) has advocated killing all Arab leaders and forcibly converting their citizens to Christianity, is in the age bracket of Desert Storm veterans. Needless to say, she never risked her own behind.
