General Stanley McChrystal has some 'splaining to do" to President Obama. The surest way for a general to get into trouble is to trash talk your boss in Rolling Stone Magazine. If he did it in The New York Times, probably no one would have noticed because who reads anymore? But Rolling Stone? That was the home of Hunter Thompson and his war coverage. Madonna appeared on their cover. That's serious journalism. People actually read Rolling Stone. Then they cut the pages out and use it to roll doobies, but that's another story. I mean, let's face it; if Perez Hilton pays attention to a magazine, we probably should too.

According to the article, he said he was deeply disappointed in President Obama. Join the crowd, Stanley, join the crowd. His reaction to Vice President Biden was "Who's that?" Okay, Stanley, I'll explain. V.P. Biden is another guy who doesn't know when to shut up. It all boiled down to basic macho military trash talk against civilians. Gripe and whine about your boss. We've all done it; just not on the cover of Rolling Stone.

Apparently, he's done this type of thing before, so his job is on the line.

General McChrystal has made other unfortunate decisions, many of which were stopped just in the nick of time. It is rumored that he was originally going to pose on this month's cover of Rolling Stone wearing a double machine gun bra and a thong to show support for the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, but luckily, at the last second, Lady Gaga became available and McChrystal was bumped. He allegedly put out an all points "arrest on sight" bulletin for the A-Team, not realizing they were being framed. He also requisitioned 40,000 additional troops for Afghanistan and requested War Machine armor for all of them, an expensive proposition, even if Tony Stark was willing to throw in some frequent flyer miles. But at some point, he crossed the line. Maybe it was when he tried to draft Whitney Houston to use as a decoy to trap Osama bin Laden. Maybe it was when he tried to replace Marine dress uniforms with the ones worn in "Alejandro." Maybe it was when he revealed that President Hamid Karzai preferred Team Edward over Team Jacob. Or maybe it was when he revealed his secret plans to attack Cobra headquarters (located on the fifth floor of BP's headquarters).

Why was the General so talkative? Well, when you spend two weeks with a reporter from Rolling Stone, and you are in Afghanistan, which has some primo ganja, well ... maybe some people did some rolling and some people got stoned? Or maybe it was all a massive contact high.

What will Obama do? Maybe they'll sit down and have a beer and a chat. Maybe they'll sit down and have a spat. Maybe they'll sit down and read The Cat in the Hat. Or maybe they'll tear out a few pages from Rolling Stone and practice inhaling.

Well, the General got the ax. Although, in a press conference Obama said he accepted McChrystal’s “resignation.” Hmmm…bet he knows who Joe Biden is now.

On the bright side, General McChystal's remarks have actually done some good for America. He's gotten people reading Rolling Stone. As for me, I don't read Rolling Stone. I just buy it for the pictures.
