re: #13 McSpiff

Crowley ain’t a rookie. National Security Council spokesperson under Pres. Clinton, former Air Force Colonel, various other national security related gigs. He really should have known better.

Oh, yeah.

Sometimes folks like that speaking before a group forget they are representing the administration 24/7, and think that they’ve been asked for their PERSONAL opinion, and of course they have one, and it may or may not match the administration’s. But in a position like that, you’re not ever really off-duty. Ever.
