Question to McCain: I'm just a knob & as a knob, I don't understand anything. Is Obama a liar, sir?
CHARLESTON: At a town hall meeting on health care at the military college The Citadel....

"I'm just a knob and as a knob, I don't understand anything," said one freshman cadet wearing the short haircut given to all incoming students so their heads resemble door knobs. "Is Obama a liar, sir?"

"No. I don't believe it's appropriate to use that kind of language," McCain said to applause from the crowd. "I do not disparage the character and integrity of any of my opponents in this debate."

2. Good for McCain. (The freshman cadet should understand by now the CiC is "Pres. Obama" not "Obama."

I don't care if he is just a knob. I'm sure he doesn't run around that campus referring to its officers by their last name only.

4. I guess he's a bit more than just a knob if
he doesn't understand that the CIC is "President" Obama.

2006:

CHARLESTON, South Carolina (AP) -- Almost 20 percent of the female cadets at The Citadel last spring reported being sexually assaulted since enrolling at the state military college, according to results of a survey released by the school Wednesday.

About 4 percent of the male cadets also reported being sexually assaulted since joining the formerly all-male school, according to the results of the survey.

"Some wonder why I would release information that reflects negatively on the college," said the school's president, retired Air Force Lt. Gen. John Rosa. "My reason is simple: In order for us to address these issues, we must discuss them openly."

Rosa previously was superintendent of the Air Force Academy in the wake of a sexual assault scandal that found female cadets feared they would be disciplined if they reported rapes.

Remember this bunch held out on admitting females long after the real service academies had admitted women. And I'll never forget how they cheered when they harassed Shannon Faulkner out of the school. Cretins! If you ask me most of them will be forever knobs!

I can't even imagine the horror and crap the first African-American cadet there had to endure - Charles DeLesline Foster.
