Poor Little Theodore
When Bill Sammon transfered from the Moonie Times to the equally vile Washington Examiner, he didn’t get any smarter. During a one-sided “Roundtable” on Faux News, Sammon defended the likely appointment of Theodore “Arkansas Project” Olson as AG on the grounds that his third wife died in one of the 9/11 plane crashes:
Democrats are the ones who are picking a fight preemptively, saying we are going to block this guy. Ted Olson is a brilliant constitutional lawyer. … Now Ted Olson was married to Barbara Olson, who died in the 9/11 plane crash into the Pentagon. …
I think beating up on a 9-11 widower makes about as much sense as beating up on General Petraeus. When it was the 9-11 widows no one was allowed to talk about it. But here is a guy who lost his wife on 9-11 and they are going to beat him up.
Look, if you feel sorry for Theodore then give him flowers or a copy of Why Bad Things Happen to Good People or something, not, fer chrissakes, the keys to the Justice Department. What’s next anyway? Are we going to make Michael Limbaugh head of the FDA because his brother is a junkie?
Besides, I don’t think we can really call Olson a “widower” now that he has his fourth wife on his arm — a blond Republican named Lady Booth who is young enough to be his daughter. I think the better term for Theodore now is “Daddy.”
