Chuck Norris Loses It

On Larry King's show this evening:



Yes, apparently Chuck did "2 tours" in Iraq. Who knew?

And those "liberals"...those scary "liberals". Is there anything that scares Chuck more than a "liberal"? Apparently not.

Oh...and that other guy with the doe in the headlights look in the split screen? An uncommonly quiet Ari Fleischer. He was probably wise to stay out of that little skirmish though or Chuck might have drop-kicked poor Ari right there in the studio (because he's done "2 tours" in Iraq, you know).

Speaking of drop-kicks, here's a little FYI for you just to round things out:

Norris created the martial art Chun Kuk Do, which is based primarily on Tang Soo Do and includes elements from every combat style he knows. Like many other martial arts, Chun Kuk Do includes a code of honor and rules to live by. These rules are from Chuck Norris's personal code. They are:

1. I will develop myself to the maximum of my potential in all ways.
2. I will forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements.
3. I will continually work at developing love, happiness and loyalty in my family.
4. I will look for the good in all people and make them feel worthwhile.
5. If I have nothing good to say about a person, I will say nothing.
6. I will always be as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
7. I will maintain an attitude of open-mindedness.
8. I will maintain respect for those in authority and demonstrate this respect at all times.
9. I will always remain loyal to God, my country, family and my friends.
10. I will remain highly goal-oriented throughout my life because that positive attitude helps my family, my country and myself.

Bad Chuck! No black belt for you!

Update:

Here's the transcript.

HUFFINGTON: ...if you are so concerned about the amount of money we're spending, you should certainly be concerned about the war in Iraq, because that's $350 million a day.

So would you at least say that it's time to bring our troops home, since, according to John McCain, victory is in sight?

NORRIS: Well, let me ask you one question, Arianna, since you're very rich.

How many pages are there in the IRS tax code?

HUFFINGTON: This has nothing to do with the question (INAUDIBLE)...

NORRIS: Well, yes it does. I just asked...

HUFFINGTON: (INAUDIBLE).

NORRIS: I'm just asking you...

HUFFINGTON: (INAUDIBLE) -- to ask because every time you...

NORRIS: It's 66,498...

HUFFINGTON: Every time you talk about the...

NORRIS: ...pages, Arianna.

HUFFINGTON: Every time you talk about...

NORRIS: And who is the...

HUFFINGTON: ...(INAUDIBLE)...

NORRIS: And who knows what's in that tax code?

You're the high priced tax accounts like what you have.

KING: No, but her question was about the money spent on Iraq. It was a fair question, Chuck.

Isn't that a lot of money? NORRIS: It's a lot of money, but we're spending a lot of money everywhere. We're spending a lot of money on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And we're spending a lot of money that will probably wind up paying off the car dealers -- the cars and the airlines. I mean we're bailing everybody out.

And we can debate the question about whether we should be in Iraq or not Iraq, but we are there and we've got to take care of the situation there. I've been there twice, Arianna. I've done two tours over there. I know what's going over there. You haven't been there.

HUFFINGTON: This is really the most absurd response, because (INAUDIBLE) been to Iraq, I'm sorry to say, makes no difference compared to the fact that...

NORRIS: Yes, it does.

HUFFINGTON: ...if the president...

NORRIS: I've talked to the troops over there.

HUFFINGTON: If the president and John McCain and...

NORRIS: I've talked to troops.

HUFFINGTON: ...Sarah Palin...

NORRIS: And they believe that we should stay there until we finish the job, you know?

HUFFINGTON: Well, there are many, many...

NORRIS: You would pull tail and run.

HUFFINGTON: You know, there are many, many...

NORRIS: You know...

HUFFINGTON: ...people in the military (INAUDIBLE)...

NORRIS: But that's your liberal view, Arianna. You're so liberal.

HUFFINGTON: Chuck, you know what, let me just finish the sentence.

There are many people in the military who are deeply concerned about what's happening to our military. We are destroying our military. Suicide rates...

NORRIS: Not the military people I've talked to.

HUFFINGTON: Suicide rates...

NORRIS: I've talked to all the military...

HUFFINGTON: You know...

NORRIS: ...commanders over there.

HUFFINGTON: You know what...

NORRIS: ...and they don't feel that way, Arianna.

KING: Well, you're...

HUFFINGTON: If I were a member of the John McCain campaign, I would accuse you of sexism right now because you keep interrupting me.

NORRIS: Well, why?

HUFFINGTON: So let me just finish.

NORRIS: Because I'm backing Sarah Palin so I'm sexist?

HUFFINGTON: Let me just finish...

KING: I think, Chuck...

HUFFINGTON: Let me just finish one sentence.

KING: Chuck, I'm...

HUFFINGTON: ...and this is that what's happening to the American military is something that all of us need to be concerned about, as is the fact that...

KING: OK. Chuck...

HUFFINGTON: ...we are absolutely spending trillions of dollars.

KING: Chuck, if you haven't endorsed McCain and Palin tonight, you got me lost.

NORRIS: Well, the thing is, I'm leaning in that direction.

KING: I mean I have no hint that you're going to endorse Obama.

NORRIS: No. No.

KING: No, I gather that.

NORRIS: He's not our leader. No. You know what. And I think the majority of the people will realize that. When the time comes to vote, I think the people will decide and know that that's not the man to lead our country.
