Over the past few days, I've read a number of stories that refer to the selfish and uncaring tuberculosis infected Andrew Speaker as a "Naval Academy graduate".

The truth is Speaker apparently couldn't hack the kinder and gentler Naval Academy regime of the 90's, and ended up leaving early.

Quote:
Mr. Speaker entered the Naval Academy with the Class of 1997, but did not graduate with his class, according to officials at the academy public affairs office and the Naval Academy Alumni Association. They could not confirm his exact dates of attendance.


The guy's a loser and a punk.

He's a personal injury lawyer. Sounds like a vulture to me. Mad

"did not graduate with his class" probably tells quite a story of his Naval Academy period. It also did not mention any active duty service.
Sounds like a reject.

Saying Speaker is a reject is probably giving too much credit to the guy and, not wanting to take an unwarranted swing at attorneys, I found it slightly more than amusing that he's now a personal injury lawyer.

I don't know if the process has changed, but I believe if you bilge out of the Academy before your Junior year you can just go home. After that I think you're obligated to some service time.

I also believe that the government can charge you for your Academy education, which James Webb states is worth "$100,000, stuffed up your A-S-S a nickle at a time"...or words to that affect.

I wonder if Speaker paid up? Wink

All you have to do is take one look at his wife to know what kind of man he is.

It blows me away that some women are so vain and shallow that they would stuff a big piece of plastic inside their body then have a doctor stitch it up.

That there are men in this world who actually enjoy this in a woman confirms the vast openess of space which occupies their heads.

genrXr - it took me a few seconds to figure that out - I'm so tired and took pain pills a bit ago - my mind was going ???? wondering what was wrong with that dude's wife.... yeah, she seemed like a flakey blonde - but whatever a guy likes I guess... that's what some want on their 'arm' as they build up their practice - he'll probably dump her in 15 yrs or so anyway... lol!

I didn't look lower than her chin when she was on tv but I guess that's what your're talking about!
did she still have the price tag on? Laughing Laughing Laughing

Perfect opportunity for some poetic justice.

Maybe some enterprising flight attendant will sue. Mr. Green
