Or a derivation thereof. On a recent show he made the comment that (paraphrased) “Of course, we don’t expect Bush and them to serve. They’re too old. They’re not good age for the military. But why aren’t their children serving? Why are’t Bush’s daughters over there fighting the war? Why don’t any of the supporters of the war send their children over there?”

The reasons are legion why such an argument is flawed. As the first caller to his show after his little rant brought up, several Congressmen have had children in the wars, including former Presidental candidate Duncan Hunter.

And as an on again, off again, supporter of the war himself, Savage strongarmed none of his children off to pick up a gun for the country he loves so much. Seems a tad unfair, in retrospect, to demand it from others.

So, to support a war, one must force their children into military service (even if said children are against the war), as one of Bush’s daughters is, or if one has already served? In this, Savage reeks of the worst left wing critics of the administration. Having no service himself, he dares call others into question. And he demands that Bush’s tiny party girl daughters (one anti-war) be conscripted…to hell with the consequences for their battalions. It’s unbelievable that a man who considers himself a serious commentator would try such a crap argument.
