Jon Soltz tells Keith Olbermann why he won’t be living in Keith’s studio broom closet any longer. Soltz milks the sympathy of the four people in Olbermann’s audience and has a real hang-dog expression like he’s been sentenced to death instead of called to serve his country;<\/p>\n

Soltz claims in the video that he’s always separated his military service from his activism. When was that? If you go back over the countless videos in which Soltz appears, every other word out of his mouth mentions his four months in Iraq as a member of the military until recently, a picture of Soltz in a desert landscape and in a combat pogue uniform (no LBE, no helmet, only a weapon) appeared on VoteVets. How is that separating service with political activism?<\/p>\n

Soltz continues that his four months in Iraq led him to oppose the war. HTF did that happen? Four months dispatching vehicles and supervising motor pool police call disillusioned him? <\/p>\n

Soltz’ temporary replacement will be J. Ashwin Madia;<\/p>\n

Interim Chairman of VoteVets.org, J. Ashwin Madia, joined the U.S. Marine Corps and moved to Quantico, Virginia for 6 months of basic training, after Law School. He served in Iraq from September 2005 to March 2006. Madia was lead attorney in over one hundred trials, including thirteen jury trials. He is most proud of his work successfully defending a gay Marine from administrative discharge in 2005, when it was clear that commanders were using disparate standards in their treatment of this Marine compared to other Marines. Madia was a long-time Republican, who supported Bob Dole for President in 1996, and Senator John McCain in 2000, before running as a Democrat for Congress in Minnesota in 2008.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I was a long-time Democrat until VoteVets came along and I switched parties, you doofuses. It’s as if they don’t even hear how stupid they sound when they say stupid shit like that.<\/p>\n

I wish Jon Soltz luck and I hope he comes back safely. At least he’s not a complete pussy and avoiding the call. But I also hope he appreciates that he gets to reap the benefits of the surge which he so adamantly opposed.<\/p>\n

The word is that IAVA’s Paul Reickhof is taking advantage of the new space in the MSNBC broom closet that he and Soltz shared over the last several years and buying a new beanbag chair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
