    Duffleblog is a military version of the onion.

    This is a joke from military culture more than it is a dig at Tim waltz. duffleblog is generally more progressive than it is conservative

    Walz continued, “I better not see any more god dang eyelids from up here, Hooah? If you can’t stay awake, I got something for you! Y’all wanna play games? Cuz I got more games than god darn Milton Bradley! We can do this rally from the front leaning rest, Roger?”

    This shit’s funny. Obviously not a real quote. He used to be a CSM, and does NOT have the demeanor of one.

    Meh…

    They’re trying to be even-handed, but silly insults don’t really work on Walz. He’s just too… wholesome and folksy. I’m sure there are ways to poke fun at him, but not the edgy “Onion” way, which is usually sharp satire. It’s hard to effectively satirize a person who is kinda of an unexpectedly lovable teddy bear that also happens to know how to effectively govern.
