Sarah Silverman agrees: Petraeus, like Jesus, is Magic

With brows knitted, GOP candidate Tim Pawlenty said President Obama's Afghanistan plan is "a grave mistake" and "deeply concerning." You know, deeply. "When America goes to war," T-Paw said gravely, "America needs to win." Oh I get it. It's kinda like what Bluto said in Animal House: "Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the going gets tough ... [very long pause] ... the tough get going. Who's with me? Come on! Let's Go! AAAAEEEEEGGGHHHH!!" But I digress. Continuing, T-Paw declared that "we need to close out the war successfully, and what that means now is not nation-building." (Otter: Um, is that a Palinism? Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.) And "what it means is to follow Gen. Petraeus' advice." Comedianne Sarah Silverman couldn't agree more. Like T-Paw, she believes Petraeus is Magic. You know, because he turned water into wine in Iraq and made Al-Qaeda disappear, or something. And U.S. Army generals are all-knowing, all-seeing and always right. Okay, except for maybe McClellan and Lee in the Civil War, Custer at Little Big Horn, MacArthur in Korea, Westmoreland in 'Nam, Garrison in Black Hawk Down, and Franks in Iraq. But again, I digress. The bottom line: Who needs a commander in chief when you can outsource this war stuff completely to the Pentagon brass? If it's okay with Petraeus, it's okay with T-Paw. And this guy wants to be president. The mind reels.
