The really amazing thing about King’s latest, unthinking putdown of the troops–"…if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don’t, then you’ve got, the Army, Iraq…"–isn’t that he is repeating another famous fool, John Kerry. It’s that he’s so dumb that he imagines you can a) get in the Army without being able to read, and b) that you could do the job the Army wants without being able to read. I’ve enjoyed some of King’s books. But none of them taught me anything important. It really does surprise me, however, that he could write any of them while being such a moron.
UPDATE: Air Force veteran takes him on, too. And Doug Ross @ Journal, too: "The Dead Zone known as Stephen King’s brain."
