La Pierres hefty compensation might be almost acceptable if he was effective in his job, which he is not. He is a poor communicator and public face of the NRA and I cringe watching him on TV. Like it or not it is important for the leadership of an organization like the NRA to present good arguments for the cause and present those arguments in a way that doesn’t turn off those who are on the fence. La Pierre fails on both counts. It is also noteworthy that no one has accused him of being a real gun guy. I have no verified numbers but I’m willing to bet that many people would be surprised at how few rounds he sends downrange every year.
i nominate Gary Sinese or James Woods or Michelle malkin
