He's a public figure,making comments in a public place.He should know better.And if he spent time as a POW,it would indicate that he was crap as a soldier,and should refrain from commenting on stuff that he's no good at.

How many people have been refused boarding for flights in the last few years, or detained, or dragged through the courts, because they 'joked' about having a bomb in their hand luggage? Such actions are no longer acceptable, and when a senior politician acts like a complete retard, any decent President should ask for his resignation.

I like the point Kaz made. Suppose Mohammad Naji al-Otari of Syria made a "funny" about nuking the U.S. in front of reporters? I tend to think it wouldn't go over well at all.

Probably better than your odds of knowing.

I'm sure he wasn't serious, but it was still a stupid thing to say where someone might hear it. Maybe he just wanted to see his name in the news.

You don't appear to think twice before your fingers start scrabbling at that keyboard. I, on the other hand, don't make fun of people for not knowing something i don't know myself.

My employer didn't make me solely responsible for an eight figure equity portfolio at the age of 22 because i'm an idiot. In fact, they made me a portfolio manager at the age of 22 because i'm fucking smart. buh bye now

But you don't seem to be above making fun of people you know nothing about.

I may not have read his autobiography, but if this man is not a moron, i don't know who is. Then again, i suppose that's what passes for a politician in the US these days

If you want to keep throwing petty insults at me, do it by PM.

Making comments such as those to get your name in the papers is just plain stupid. I think the man owes a public appology to whom he might have offended.

a war veteran who spent 3/4 of a decade as a POW can say anything about war and fighting that he fucking wants

-with another.
