Obama Forces Uppity Republican To Run The Army

New York Republican Rep. John McHugh, ranking GOP member of the House Armed Services Committee, wrote this thing for The Hill yesterday that very politely and professionally urged his fellow Republicans to hit Barack Obama hard over Iran, North Korea, the Defense budget, and various other foreign policy issues that the President is a chit-chatty pussy about. Barack Obama didn't much care for these "tips," so he kidnapped McHugh from his home last night and ordered him to become his new Secretary of the Army. And now play time's over for John McHugh, for there will be no more of his fanciful "Help the Republican party!" schoolyard dalliances inThe Hill, ever again. [ NYT ]
