#4 He was probably terrified that if he was sent to Gitmo he would have gobbled down so much food that he would have ruined his girlish figure and turned into an untrendy bloat pig.

Yup, Mortarboarded! A Master's Degree from a prestigious lefty University with a specialty in Geography. Betcha he knows where Moronica is!

#6 For a "journalist" he doesn't seem very observant. Or very bright either.

#7 How long does it take for mortarboarding to cure? Perhaps we should find out on Keith Olberman. It would be poetic justice to use Cemex.

#10 "Butler said he felt it was better to be kidnapped in Iraq then taken into custody by Americans in Afghanistan. "I was pleased I wasn't being mortarboarded in Guantanamo..."

Like he knows. Unless he has the official " I was mortarboarded by the evil Americans" T-shirt, he is in no position to compare. another CBS Dork.

#11 I saw portions of the interview with Butler. He mentioned that at the point the rescuing Iraqi troops realized he had been a prisoner, one of them wrapped his arms around him to shield him & side by side they ran out to a waiting vehicle amid gunfire. He made the Iraqi troops sound very professional.

#12 Let me guess, "Mortarboarding" involves stuffing his mouth with Mortar, and being sure it sets hard before release.

I think Mortarboarding is a perfect punishment for a See Bull Shit "reporter". (Little "r" on purpose)
