Metaphor alert. Obama’s pick for State Department security chief once shot himself in the foot. Literally.

  • Makes as much sense as hiring a felon for Attorney General, a polluter for EPA chief, and a Clinton for sex abuse czar.

  • Another reason to ban all liberal gun ownership, they can not be trusted to shoot without provication...."Look I told my foot to stop moving but it did not listen and I was in fear for my life"......Dumb ass liberals

      • And they gave this cop a gun. I like how he brags that he's the only one in the room "professional" enough to handle that weapon. "This is a Glock .40. Watch what happens when I put a round in my foot!" There are NO accidental discharges--only negligent discharges.

        • Federal cops are a strange breed, I am a firearms instructor/range master, and in twenty years of doing this not one injury or accidental discharge...I have seen the federal guys shoot at the same range, they do not practice nearly as often as we do, even though they have billions of rounds of ammo...There was a video a few years back of some DEA putz showing off his skills in a classroom and he shot himself....Par for the federal course...

          • Do you by any chance watch Charlie Sheen's new show, Anger Management? I happened to see a repeat last night and one of the characters was so mishandling his gun it almost made me sick to my stomach. Naturally, this is a character playing the stereotypical rightwing gun nut. He was waving the damn thing around like an idiot, half the time with his finger on the trigger and the muzzle pointing directly at the chest of his friend. Eventually, just as he was bragging about how safe it was without the clip, there was an accidental discharge. This is how Hollywood portrays gun owners.

          • That's a twofer. They can portrayconservatives as wild eyed crazies and conservatives, especially southerners, as ignorant, ill bred idiots.

          • I would rather hang out with "southerners, and Ignorant ill bred idiots who know how to use a gun than any of the libturds......Hell I would go hunting with Dick Chaney In a minute before I would go any near someone like Harry Reid if Harry was holding an empty gun. From what I have seen the safest place to stand when a libturd shoots is in front of the gun...:)

  • SMART Power!!!!11111!!!!1elebinty

    Obama "thinks" he is really smart. I got a hundred that says he was not only beat up a lot in high school but continually mocked as the only black guy on the BB team and rode the pine.
