Witless, Insufferable Chickenhawk

Right-wing Ohio Congressman, Michael Turner, tried desperately to smear military expert Lawrence Korb during his question and answer period at a House Armed Services Committe meeteing this week. Turner started off his smear attacks against Korb by questioning his credentials to speak before the panel:

TURNER: I was looking at your bio…that incorrectly I believe referred to you as
Doctor Korb. And you do not have a PhD.


KORB: I do.


TURNER: You do have a PhD?

Uh.... moving on.




After grandstanding for nearly his entire allotted time, Turner refused to allow Korb time to respond, quickly standing up to leave the room as Korb tried to speak. Chairman Ike Skelton (D-MO) told Turner to sit down and listen to Korb’s response.
