Joe Simpson will inconvenience you

A bunch of vets are pissed off at Jessica Simpson's creepy dad Joe for cutting them out of a TV special featuring his daughter. He probably has nothing to worry about, though -- it's not like those dudes know how to use deadly sniper rifles or anything. From the New York Post:

The 4Troops, a singing group of combat veterans, were told their camouflage gear was not fancy enough to sing with Simpson on her PBS Christmas special filmed at the Roseland Ballroom on Thursday.

A source told Page Six, "Jessica's dad, Joe Simpson, effectively kicked them off the show because he didn't like what they were wearing. They were in camo pants and blazers, the same outfits they wore to sing for Gen. David Petraeus on the USS Intrepid. They were told they couldn't perform unless they were wearing tuxedos.

"They waited for six hours until midnight only to be told their number with Jessica had been cut from the show," the source said. "The irony was Jessica was on stage saying how much she supports and admires the troops, and the veterans were stuck in a room in the basement. Instead of enduring more humiliation, the veterans left."

A spokeswoman for 4Troops said, "Joe should be ashamed of himself." Jens said, "I am so disappointed and angry, I threw up when I got back to my room."

These vets should consider themselves lucky -- these days, the only thing worse than being associated with Jessica Simpson is being waterboarded. Besides, the real reason Joe didn't want the vets around his daughter is because he didn't like the competition. Of course, if Joe had really wanted to surround his daughter with military personnel that isn't considered threatening at all, he would have had her perform with the Armée de Terre.*
