OT: Were you working on the Plainsboro side of US1? I used to live in Plainsboro. This was in the mid to late '80s.

Go back and read again. She is talking about when she landed at Reagan National for the Benghazi hearing.

I was working for Zenith in Chicago then and did not accept the offer from RCA (David Sarnoff Labs). I took a job in West Palm Beach with Northern Telecom instead for lot less money (sniff, sniff).

A good attack on media and reporters is worth 3 or 5 points in the polls -- A hissy fit is probably a minus...

And when "the people" do exactly this and right-wing whack jobs don't like what the people have done, we listen to the pussies bitch ad-nausea for several years.
What is it about these Folks that makes them think their ideology is what "the people", AKA "everybody" wants?
Are they really this dense and/or deranged?
Apparently so.

Benny 'the Knife' Carson's Eclectic Foreign Policy Advisor.
"Mr. Clarridge, described by Mr. Carson’s top adviser, Armstrong Williams, as “a mentor for Dr. Carson,” is a colorful, even legendary figure in intelligence circles, someone who could have stepped out of a Hollywood thriller. He was a longtime C.I.A. officer, serving undercover in India, Turkey, Italy and other countries. During the Reagan administration, he helped found the agency’s Counterterrorism Center and ran the C.I.A.’s Latin American division."
"Indicted on charges of lying to Congress in the Iran-contra scandal (he was later pardoned), Mr. Clarridge today runs a private network of intelligence sources, including, he said, experts on Iran, China and the Middle East, who have all briefed Mr. Carson in phone calls or Skype sessions."
"Mr. Clarridge, who contacted Mr. Carson nearly two years ago to offer his services without pay, has helped the candidate prepare for debates. But the briefings do not always seem to sink in, Mr. Clarridge acknowledged. After Mr. Carson struggled on “Fox News Sunday” to say whom he would call first to form a coalition against the Islamic State, Mr. Clarridge called Mr. Williams, the candidate’s top adviser, in frustration. “We need to have a conference call once a week where his guys roll out the subjects they think will be out there, and we can make him smart,” Mr. Clarridge said he told Mr. Williams."

Oops. Someone needs to make Clarridge smart, about the sort of stuff you air in public.

So, what is the motivation of this Clarridge character and why did he attach himself to Carson ? Does he aspire to be a king maker as Karl Rove to GB?
