What if Petraeus had said…..
I saw this from Twitchy, and it is admittedly one of the best covers evah…..

So, I’ll get you started (with some from Brown Neck Gaitor):

Go forth and pun….

“Son, we live in a world that has booty, and that booty has to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I’ve had the greatest booty than you could possibly fathom. You weep for booty, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing some of the Gitmo booty I have known.
You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that booty, you need me on that booty.
We use words like booty, tang and tail. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent poking something.
You use them as a punchline.

I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up some booty, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.”
