Would you believe me if I told you that with a little effort, the ol' salt can become a pretty good guy over time?

Besides, right or wrong, the Chief has spent his life dedicated to the service of our country. So, to me, people like him, and even ol' Murtha, Kerry, can say or do what the hell ever they want to. They deserve it.
I may disagree with him but I will never disrespect Mr. Pride.
