Ted Rall for February 03, 2005
Transcript:
His death was all the rage in late April 2004. Now let's find out: whatever happened to Pat Tillman: A follow up interview. Still dead, huh? (Pat Tillman: Uh-huh. And they still make me war this uniform. "Stop-loss" has gone too far.) Got any second thoughts about fighting in Iraq? (Pat Tillman: So they didn't do 9/11 or have WMDs or want to be liberated so what?) Then they sent you to Afghanistan (Pat Tillman: Where my own guns shot me! At least their coverup scored me a silver star.) You became a poster boy for the right. Ann Coulter called you "virtuous, pure and masculine like only an American male can be." (Pat Tillman: Yeah, Ann, I've never been better. Hey- I'll pick you up at 8!!!) The media has already forgotten you. Better watch those outbursts or you'll lose that halo. (Pat Tillman: No way, man. Republicans control all 3 major religions.)
