Belzer Proclaims He Knows Better About Iraq than Uneducated Soldiers in Iraq
When Congresswoman Ileanna Ros-Lehtinen contended Friday night, on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, that servicemen she's met in Iraq are “saying 'we're proud of our mission, we know what we're doing over here. We don't want you guys in Washington to lose it over there,'” actor/comedian Richard Belzer condescendingly fired back, claiming that to “ask them” is “bullshit” since, apparently unlike him, “they don't read twenty newspapers a day.”
He's an expert because he reads more newspapers than the soldiers do? The soldiers are there with the people actually involved.
I'm sorry, but there is no substitute for experience. No matter what field you're in. The average med student reads more medical literature in a year's time than the average doctor does. Does that mean they're better doctors because they read more?
Fucking idiot.
