The right man for the job
by digby
In this earlier post I referenced a piece I wrote about an ex-Secret Service agent and obvious right wing extremist who wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post proposing that his fellow right wing extremist Allen West should head the Secret Service. I wondered how many wingnuts like him are among the president’s protectors. It seems to me that’s a reasonable question considering what Allen West has said about this president:
“Barack Hussein Obama has an Islamist sympathy … I don’t understand where this president’s loyalties lie, and I have to ask the question, whose side is he on?”
He’s also called for the military to openly defy presidential orders that West defines as illegal. I’m sure President Obama would feel very secure with that man by his side.
Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade thinks it’s a wonderful idea. He asked Allen West if he’d take the job and West said that he had no idea that he was up for it but that he’d be honored to take it. He also wants the US military to pretty much take over the government. So there’s that …
But why not Attorney General? Who better to reassure the public that Barack Hussein Obama won’t have us all killed in our beds?
