I'm not going to go into a lot that this kid has said, but here are some more of his words, from Accuracy in Media: <

“The Clinton era has created a heightened level of cynicism. Many question and even distrust their democratically elected government. When missing FBI documents suddenly appear, immediately after FBI Director Freeh announces his resignation, and shortly before the scheduled McVeigh execution, there are those I am sure who wonder, honest mistake or a page out of the Clinton play book-read Hillary's billing records. This skepticism can lead to a diminution of confidence in our institutions of government and that is not a healthy situation for any of us.”
Indeed. OK. Now, flip that first sentence around and change “Clinton” era, to “Bush” Era, apply the statement to current events, read the paragraph again and see how it reads. It's the way I feel and I'm not 18.
Hillary’s billing records? How about the Pentagon losing over $1 TRILLION dollars, or the Bush budgeters not able to come up with numbers on the cost of Iraq, or understand (lie!) a damn thing about the effects of massive deficits on a $6 trillion debt?
And, what's this bit about former FBI Director Louis Freeh? He should have pointed out that Louis Freeh resigned 5 months before Sept. 11th, 2001, under GEORGE BUSH’S “leadership”. "It did catch me by surprise," Bush said. "And I'm disappointed. I was hoping that he would stay on. I THINK HE'S DONE A VERY GOOD JOB."
Freeh left the FBI in the wake of the worst case of espionage in the bureau's history - though his resignation did not appear to be linked to the scandal. Senior FBI counterintelligence agent Robert P. Hanssen spied for Russia over the past 15 years, compromising countless national security secrets and helping Moscow find two moles who were executed. Freeh also had a forensics lab that fabricated evidence at the FBI crime lab, mishandled the Atlanta Olympic bombing case, and totally screwed up the investigation into whether former Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory scientist Wen Ho Lee mishandled nuclear secrets.
Freeh probably ran like heck to his reported $1M private sector job when he discovered that it was going to be made public that boxes of FBI materials were not turned over to Tim McVeigh’s defense attorneys. Why didn't the republican Congress go after him for these disasters? Afraid to eat their own?
For this stellar performance, John Ashcroft said on Freeh's departure that the FBI has a "legacy of uncompromising integrity." If Bush and Ashcroft say that about Freeh, what point is he trying to make about Freeh and Clinton? Who took what out of a Clinton playbook?
And while he's at it, why wasn't Freeh called by the congressional committees that have been investigating America's recent track record on intelligence and counterterrorism to speak about Sept. 11th? If 9/11 was Clinton's fault, it surely must have been Freeh's as well.
Bill Clinton appointed Freeh - a republican. From Josh Marshall: "...whatever mistakes Freeh might be responsible for happened on Bill Clinton's watch. True, a president can fire an FBI director only for cause, not just because he wants to. But that doesn't make it impossible. Clinton dismissed Freeh's predecessor, William Sessions, in July 1993 for abusing the perquisites of his office. Firing Freeh, however, was never politically possible because of the FBI's involvement in the various investigations of the Clinton White House. If you're a Democrat or a Clintonite, that's the sort of defense that makes you not want to get the argument started in the first place.
"Given the Republicans' eagerness to pin pre-9/11 failures on the Clinton administration, you would think they would be clamoring to bring Freeh to the Hill. But congressional Republicans are even more to blame for Freeh's fecklessness than Clinton. If the White House found Freeh obstreperous and unmanageable, it was largely because he had so much support from Republicans on Capitol Hill. Whether it was the Richard Jewell disaster, or the Wen Ho Lee debacle, or the cover-ups of Waco and Ruby Ridge, whenever a new problem at the FBI would come to light, a senatorial Freeh-booster like Orrin Hatch or Arlen Specter would use the occasion to give a tongue-lashing to Janet Reno or Bill Clinton. If congressional Republicans started attacking Freeh today, they would have to admit that they shortchanged their oversight responsibilities while he was in office because they were such FANS OF HIS ENDLESS CLINTON-BASHING.
"Freeh became a key player in the long-standing war between the Clinton White House and the Republican Congress. And he, unlike the country, profited from it immensely."
Why didn't all THAT have an effect on this impressionable little darling? What harm is the performance of the Bush administration doing to today's 17 year olds?
As for his bio…: “I am a product of the (very wealthy, non-voucher) Westport, Connecticut public school system. Now, I am a freshman at (very expensive) Johns Hopkins University.… My love for politics and economics grew out of an internship at (Elliot Spitzer's target, the employer of analyst Jack Grubman, whose client is Bernard Ebbers, who walked away with $11 million in profits from 21 different IPOs given to him by) Salomon Smith Barney. I was also fortunate to be (born with a silver spoon and, like Bush, have connections to get me)chosen by the Westport Republican Party to participate in Connecticut Republicans Week On Washington. …” Oh, ...jeeeeeze.
This kid needs to go out and get laid!! Hey....!! What about him and Coulter!!!!! She's pathetically desperate, and he's got acne. And neither of them have a sense of decency....might keep her from lying so much.
