Drew Carey is no Bob Hope. Here is word for word what he said as part of his filmed monologue in Iraq to the 4th Infantry (Iron Horse): "...Vietnam movies where they show the GI falling for the cute local girl and going home and getting married. I don't think a lot of that's going to be happening around here (laughter). That's the one thing the Arabs got right. Cover that s... up. (raucous laughter and applause). Holy f...! Why don't you drop makeup and razors out of the helicopter when you fly over there (laughs). Do us all a f...ing favor. Nobody's going to be opening any Iraqi food restaurant at home either. What are you gonna have man? Camel, bugs, and a big glass of dirty water?" Are comments like these the way to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people, to insult their women and their food? I was astounded by Carey's crass and cruel humor and by the laughter of the troops who didn't seem offended by it. Talk about horrendous public relations!
