A Marine source
follows up on
Wonkette's report that CentCom is blocking certain
undesirable websites from reaching the troops:
Anyway, I had a few minutes today and thought I'd look and see what else was banned on the Marine web here. I think the results speak for themselves:
- Wonkette - "Forbidden, this page (http://www.wonkette.com/) is categorized as: Forum/Bulletin Boards, Politics/Opinion."
- Bill O'Reilly (www.billoreilly.com) - OK
- Air America (www.airamericaradio.com) - "Forbidden, this page (http://www.airamericaradio.com/) is categorized as: Internet Radio/TV, Politics/Opinion."
- Rush Limbaugh (www.rushlimbaugh.com) - OK

Gee, I'm sensing a pattern here.
Bill O'Reilly (www.billoreilly.com) - OK
Cost himself a pile of money by making sexually explicit phone calls to a female coworker while masturbating.
Rush Limbaugh (www.rushlimbaugh.com) - OK
Oxycontin addict, used his maid as unwilling drug mule. Currently not in jail for some reason yet to be explained.
G. Gordon Liddy Show (www.liddyshow.us) - OK
Felon.
Quite the standards, there. Color me shocked that they're allowing Republicans to use uniformed troops as props at campaign events, in direct and unambiguous violation of military rules.
