Brett Favre: History’s Greatest Monster
by Sonny Bunch | November 20, 2009
The Iraqis are using Brett Favre to taunt American soldiers. Goddddddammit.
According to a military official, detainees at a Wisconsin National Guard camp in Iraq are using Brett Favre as a manner of getting at the guard troops there.
“They know Favre by name,” said First Lieutenant Tim Boehnen, who is from New Richmond, Wis.
“One of the big words they know now is shenanigan. They’ll constantly talk about ‘Favre shenanigans,’ ‘He’s so good for the Vikings,’ and ‘The Packers have got to really feel bad about that one.’ “
You’re taunting Wisconsinites about Brett Favre? Break out the waterboard and the punishment boxes. Geneva ain’t gonna save you now. Where’s Lynndie England when we really need her?

Santino,
I’ve a feeling these detainees have awakened a sleeping giant and made him very angry. Adm. Yamamoto would be proud.

Those detainees are rooting no so much for for Favre as they are for the Great Blue State of Minnesoata, the only state to vote against Reagan twice.
