All you are right now is a buzzed, high blowhard.

I'm reminded of the probably apocryphal story about Winston Churchill and Lady Astor.  He was drunk one night, and she told him, "You are drunk!  You are very, very drunk."  Winston responded, "Lady, you are ugly.  You are very, very ugly.  At least in the morning I shall be sober."

What an asshole. I hope he was cut by whatever team he played for.

No, at first this was reported as "Breaking News" on the BBC and soon picked up on by the AP, UPI, Pravda....
He was then forced to issue a statement, apologizing to all who were deeply offended. Although he claimed he "mis-spoke" while inebriated, he was contrite and made the round of talk shows, both daytime and late-night, speaking of the pitfalls of excessive alcohol consumption.
Although there was much public clamoring for him to resign his position (after all, how could a man who would say something like that be able to defend his country from the Nazis?), he remained steadfast...
And the rest is history.
