<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nThe other day<\/a>, Brandon Friedman, former infantry lieutenant, former VoteVets co-chair, former Veterans’ Affairs Media Director, currently the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, posited the theory that Bowe Bergdahl’s unit leaders were “long on psychopaths and short on leadership”.<\/p>\n Within hours, he quickly backpedaled on the statement, according to Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n “I\u2019d like to clarify tweets I wrote last night on my personal Twitter account concerning the return of Bowe Bergdahl,\u201d Friedman, a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, said in the statement. \u201cFirst, I do not speak for the Administration on national security issues in any capacity\u2014public or personal.\u201d<\/p>\n Citing his service, he said he has the \u201chighest regard\u201d for fellow service-members.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Well, no he doesn’t. Friedman has the “highest regard” for veterans who agree with him, but the rest of us not so much. Well, it appears that Friedman’s fellow travelers at Huffington Post aren’t as enamored with Friedman as they used to be, either. They named him “The Most Disappointing Democrat of the Week<\/a>“.<\/p>\n Without a shred of evidence, a governmental official (no matter how lowly) calling an entire group of soldiers “psychopaths” is beyond disappointing behavior — it is nothing short of disgraceful. He was trying to make a larger point, but his choice of words to begin this point was unacceptable. He has since apologized, but he never should have made this unfounded accusation in the first place. There has been enough “not supporting the troops” this week already, and this certainly doesn’t help the situation one bit.<\/p>\n Which is why, lowly deputy assistant though he may be, Brandon Friedman is our Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week this week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Ouch. Given the disappointing performances by a number of Democrats this week, from Susan Rice to Harry Reid, I’m sure the folks at Huffington Post had a hard time choosing just one. How’s the undercarriage of that bus look, Brandon?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
