Tom sends us a link to MSN which reports that Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill is calling for an investigation into relationships between defense officials and contractors. We talked about General Michael Bobeck the other day when he was relieved from his command for having an extramarital playmate and for taking favors from a contractor.
McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said she had serious questions about Bobeck’s relationship with Joseph Ferreira, an official with Peduzzi Associates, a lobbying and consulting firm that works for Sikorsky, the maker of the helicopters used by the National Guard air units that Bobeck worked for.
“We’ve seen far too often the effects of the revolving door between the military and contractors to believe that this is simply a coincidence,” McCaskill wrote in her letter to acting Pentagon Inspector General Glenn Fine.
I guess McCaskill is worried that flag officers will be cutting into her action.
“working for”?
I’m sure glad that no one in congress ever accepted “favors” from defense contractors.
Jeesh!
I’d say something about pots calling kettles black, but some dipshit poster in Berkeley might get triggered and call me a racist.
That aphorism is a reference to cast-iron cookware, which, when seasoned and well-used, is as black as the ace of spades.
That does not make the aphorism itself a racist remark.
However, since the individual to whom you refer is quite likely to dive in there and pull the rayyy-cisss card with his usual lack of understanding or literary comprehension, you could be right. And ‘right’ is another trigger word. Not only that, ‘trigger’ is a trigger word.
Oh, deary, deary, me!!! Whatever will we do???????
Lars would surely point out that the “tr” in trigger is quite easily replaced with an “n” and from that point on, it’s full on rioting.
I believe that if Lars forgot to take his medications and finish up his remedial grammar class, none of us will know what the fuck he is talking about.
Well, I do keep saying he needs to find a job – something that requires his presence on a daily basis. But his objectionable and very bad habit is political proselytizing, which would probably annoy his co-workers so much that he’d either be demoted to file clerk or shown the door.
He’s in his safe space now… with his woobie and a tall bottle of free-trade, gluten free mothers milk and the latest issue of Izvestia.
