“I cannot believe that a bunch of lacy-drawered, limp-wristed people could do what those men have done in the past.” -Yuma mayor Al Krieger speaking against repeal of DADT at Memorial Day service
“I am reluctant to compare myself to George Washington or Abraham Lincoln, but I did get some feedback on what I said, and I don’t believe that I said anything different than what they would have said.” -Krieger, a week later
Mayor Krieger, please see the Wikipedia page of Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, and then try and tell me that Washington would have said what you said.
