Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        I was gonna make some pun about #ObtuseAsshole being this quirky thing than 2 seconds later it hit me that description fits at least 1/3 of the American 'elite' running the country, be it in gov, think tanks, media you name it. #NoWonder

        Does that mean that you don't understand the snark from Greenwald about Frum? And the fact that US gov and the corporate media have performed a phony propaganda trashing of RT? And you don't see what a fraud and hypocrite Frum is?

        Cillizza, on TV, seems like he’s on downers - he’s mush-mouthed, sentences stop then pick up elsewhere, end up saying nothing.
