Guard, Soldier, or Iraqi: An examination into Patrick McHenry's "little messup"

It seems that Patrick McHenry has fired back at the now very famous (even now on MSNBC!) video of Patrick McHenry calling a soldier (or something to that regard) "two bit", after the soldier correctly denied him access to a gym. So, what's the deal? Does McH get off because he called a "foreign national" a "two bit" instead of an American soldier?

Answer: No, it's worse. Here's why.

First off, let me explain the situation. At a local Lincoln county dinner of some sort, Patrick McHenry told a story about him "bravely" missing a missile attack in a Baghdad green zone. Long story short, McH woke up in the morning to go to the gym, was denied access because he had no credentials, pitched a hissy fit for 30 minutes by some "two bit" guard who refused to let him in just because he was a Distinguished Visitor, and then marched back to take a shower- when the Green Zone was hit by missiles, promptly destroying the gym.

And Helms begat Reagan...


Arguably, Ronald Reagan's Helms enabled win in the 1976 NC primary was all the encouragement he needed to try again in 1980, setting the stage for the Reagan Revolution and synergistic escapades like this one...

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
