We have over the weeks nominated three or more reverend Church persons as Stooges. The list is ever growing, because these idiots don’t know when to SHUT UP.

“We’ve lost an American original,” US President Barack Obama said.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that Schwarzkopf—a hulking bruiser of a commander with an explosive temper—had in “35 years of service in uniform left an indelible imprint on the United States military and the country.”
Rest in Peace, General.
