A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste
John Lehman loses his mind...
9/11 Commission member John Lehman, former Secretary of the Navy, unloaded during a hearing on representatives of the New York City fire and police services.
The commission didn't need further examples of how they've become a grandstanding group of hindsighted ne'er-do-wells. But Lehman did help balance the partisanship scales, with prior kookiness and political shiving confined mainly to Richard "Hit Man" Ben Veniste and former Senator Bob "Am I On TV?" Kerrey, with the occasional twitter from the unfortunately spelled Jamie "The Wall" Gorelick. But Lehman's crazy outburst helps even out the wacky hindsight vitriol meter...
Also mugging for the cameras were some widows of 9/11, including one who basically stated that Mayor Giuliani was complicit in her husbands murder. They've helped burn alot of the goodwill bridge that was built to them by their fellow citizens. Applauding at Lehman's nutty charge that the fire and police response on 9/11 was "not worthy of the Boy Scouts", these maudlin vultures desecrated the service and sacrifice of hundreds who tried to save their loved ones - who only died because they tried to help. These increasingly annoying and acerbic relatives do not honor the memory of the loved and lost, their complaints and recriminations against the people who died alongside them abrades like nails on a chalkboard.
Lehman may have finally closed the door on any hope of a serious 9/11 commission conclusion...
