Libby, Comic Relief II, and Unfit for Editorials
I won’t comment further on Mr. Libby other than directing people to read my June 6, 2007 post. No, I never, ever, tire of being ZACKlyRight.
Playing off my post a few days ago, Mr. Roger Clemens of the New York Yankees became a member of an “exclusive” club this week, so says the idiotic sports media: he joined the 350 game winners club.
I give you the names of the 349 game winners and the 350 game winners without listing Mr. Clemens:
349: Young, Johnson, Alexander, Mathewson, Galvin, Span, Nichols
350: Young, Johnson, Alexander, Mathewson, Galvin, Span, Nichols
Again, I know, we're logical and reasonable and not stupid at ZACKlyRight. I’m having trouble seeing how the club changed, too.
Finally, I apologize to those of you not local to Boston, but the Boston Globe ran an editorial today claiming the former commander of the Massachusetts State Police was “unfit” to be a US Marshall (of which there are 94 and they are regionally based). My letter to the Boston Globe in response:
Editor,
The simmering anger and bitterness of the author(s) of the “Unfit for US marshal (July 3, A10)” editorial was palpable.
Recall, the book by 295 Vietnam veterans who carried a rifle in a swamp halfway around the world, who earned enough medals to armor-plate a Humvee, and who dared to comment on Sen. John F. Kerry’s candidacy for Commander-in-Chief is titled “Unfit for Command”. Recall, also, liberal extremists, including the editorial board of the Boston Globe and many of the Globe’s columnists, continually denigrate the 295 Vietnam veterans who are the Swift Boat Veterans and POWS for Truth.
The invitation to compare extended by the title of the editorial, I stipulate that I don’t know who of the editorial board served in the Massachusetts State Police, but if no one did, then I’m quite sure, by the standards of liberal extremists, the editorial board of the Boston Globe should certainly be denigrated for questioning the “fitness” of the former commander of the Massachusetts State Police, Reed Hillman, for the vacant, regional US Marshall’s position.
But, humoring the editorial board, if it is correct and the former commander of the Massachusetts State Police is “unfit” to be US Marshall then what are Massachusetts residents to think of our state police force? Should not the Boston Globe be covering that story?
And, yes, Sen. John F. Kerry, who, like many others, thought lieutenant junior grade qualified him for Commander-in-Chief, opposes Mr. Hillman’s nomination. The Senator's opposition is laughable. (End of letter.)

I don't get it, but I get it.
The only letter the Globe printed on Mr. Hillman's nomination came from the minority leader of the Massachusetts House, Mr. Bradley H. Jones, Jr., his letter:
Say what you will about the politics behind appointments to the US Marshals Service, but please don't use Reed Hillman to make your point ("Unfit for US marshal," Editorial, July 3).
With more than 25 years of service in the Massachusetts State Police and three years serving as commander of the force, Hillman has extensive experience both as a law-enforcement officer and as a leader. If heading up the Commonwealth's top law-enforcement agency doesn't qualify a person for the post of US marshal, what does?
As violence continues to erupt in our cities and as Boston ramps up security with an eye toward London, witness-protection measures and antiterrorism efforts are more crucial than ever. It is difficult to think of someone in Massachusetts more prepared to handle these tasks as a US marshal than Reed Hillman.
Political pedigree may be a prerequisite for becoming a US senator from Massachusetts, but when it comes to protecting our citizens from harm, politics shouldn't count; proven ability and experience should. I wish someone would explain that to Senators Kennedy and Kerry. (End of letter.)
Okay, so maybe his letter was better than mine.
