For a Foggy Bottom employee, he is arguably one of the less objectionable pervs on the payroll.
He seems to be heterosexual, not the usual poofter.
While he seems to like to screw young females, one can argue he can’t at the same time screw the taxpayers.
Yes, I know that is small comfort, indeed. However, one learns to be grateful for small things when dealing with goobers in the Gooberment.
I’d close with the old curse, “A pox upon him!” - but that would likely be redundant, given the subject and his known behaviors.
On second thought, I have an idea. Let’s just shut down Foggy Bottom. By now, land prices have climbed and the Feds could use the land sales monies to reduce the national debt.
I can dream, can’t I?
“He seems to be heterosexual, not the usual poofter.”
Well, I guess if you mean heterosexual in the sense he only dealt with little “girl” pornography. Read the story a little more closely on the charges. The guy is a freak and needs to be, well, shot. Whoops. I’m sorry, I mean rehabbed since it works sooooooooooo well.
This is nothing really new for the State Department, which has been riddled with all sorts of corruption for decades. The only surprise here is that he’s been named publicly, and not quietly reassigned somewhere else.
State is easily the most corrupt of all the Cabinet departments, stemming mainly from its determination to acquiesce completely to the host government wherever there are US embassies and consulates. The unusual thing here is that an American is victimizing citizens of the host country, rather than being complicit in fraud schemes of every sort.
I suspect in a day or two, this will no longer be news, and it’s business as usual.
