Dick Cavett - Douchebag (Updated)

Once again, to push its agenda, the New York Times lends its resources to someone who hasn't been anyone since 1975 - Dick Cavett.

Listen Dick... That is your name - "Dick"? If you're going to malign someone, find a better target than General Petraeus. You wouldn't make a pimple on his ass. You make fun of his medals by quoting things like this:

“Very impressive!” Adding, “If you’re twelve.”

Ya know, "Dick", I realize that shiny things distract you, and you have no idea what those medals stand for. The very least of his medals stands for something you could never have done. The Army Service Ribbon is what you get once you've completed Basic Training. In the General's case, graduation from West Point.

In your best days, "Dick", you could not have done either of these things.

Thanks to Firehand for the pointer.

Michelle Malkin and Baldilocks have more, and Juliette sums it up nicely:

... I can't read the words of small, ignorant males as they snipe at their betters without thinking of the word 'eunuch.'

You betcha.

Update: Madrocketscientist, in comments, points us to this post,

Just as people like Dick Cavett will never understand. I think he imagines people in the military gleefully rushing off to fight the Hun. No one - least of all the military - likes war. Mr. Cavett has never led men into battle. He has never had to watch a friend's face crumple when she learns her husband is dead. He has never taken a bullet in the chest, or had his pelvis shattered and kept reporting for duty as soon as he possibly could, because that is what you do when your job is important.

which in turn points to this one.

What disappoints me about this piece though, is despite all of Cavett’s smart-ass banter about language, the piece is nothing more than an unbridled display of contempt.

Maybe he got beat up at Yale by ROTC guys or something.

Compare the picture the NYT has of him vs the Wiki one. Just for kicks.
