"Among attendees at the black tie event: Morgan Fairchild, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Justice Antonin Scalia, George Clooney, and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter of the Doobie Brothers--in a kilt."



By the way, I thought his claim to fame was as bass player in Steely Dan. Maybe he later played with the Doobies? At any rate, he is now a self-styled expert on weapons/terror...although I don't think he's a freeper like Ted Nugent.

1. he was/is a guitarist and a freeper.

with Steely Dan and later the Doobies.

2. He was in both the Doobies and Steely Dan

And yes, he is a freeper, of the libertarian type.

3. yeah, he may be a freeper...i saw him on some cable news show...

during the run-up to the Iraq war. I couldn't tell if he was a freep, although it was clear that he likes guns and bombs.

4. I read that he has a job now where he develops weapons for

the government.

That would, indeed, qualify him as a freeper.

7. he doesn't actually develop anything. He lies and SAYS he does.

He's completely nuts and insane.

5. He's now a "top counter-terrorism expert"

He's also one of the leading experts on missile defense systems...

Now, re-read those last two items: he's an EXPERT on counter-terrorism and missile defense systems, two things we are failing at miserably right now. It is either an elaborate gag born from his heavy drug rock-n-roll days, the ultimate bar bet gone bad, or he's bringing down the government from within.

If it weren't all so serious, this would be one of the funniest things in the world. Ol' Skunk has been spouting this crap since the early 80s, and he's apparently no closer to a solution 25 years later.

What a maroon.

6. baxter is a psychotic, delusional FREAK. He used to tell me years ago that

he was a CIA agent. I wish I was kidding.
