Frank Lautenberg plays the chickenhawk card

Via Hugh Hewitt played Frank Lautenberg's little rant calling Dick Cheney a "chickenhawk," meaning that since he was not drafted during the Vietnam War because he was given deferments, Cheney has no moral status to advocate war in Iraq. It doesn't take much thought to realize that the argument doesn't make any sense. If it did, it would be just as valid to say that people who have no military experience have no moral authority for opposing war.
