Seems there’s a movement
to try and get David Clennon fired from “The Agency” for going on Sean
Hannity’s radio show, criticizing Bush, and likening the current US
“moral climate” to Nazi Germany under Hitler.
The irony, of course, is that there’s a lot of yo-yos out there who are
try to get an actor fired from playing a CIA employee, but who are
curiously silent on wondering why no one has been fired from the real
CIA for missing 9/11. (by way of Tom Tomorrow.)

I don’t think that anyone should be able to force CBS fire actor David
Clennon. It is only up to CBS to decide if his speech is worth the lost
ratings. After all, it may turn out that CBS will soon be able to hire
someone like you, at a much lower salary, for the same ratings The
Agency can fetch. Can you blame CBS if they decide to fire him after
that? I have enjoyed watching “The Agency”, but my family will no
longer do so. I hope this causes CBS to choose a different option than
terminating Mr. Clennon. I hope they insist that he read Mein Kampf,
tour some of the death camps and holocaust museums, and talk with some
of the holocaust survivors. Perhaps after doing so, he will be
qualified to make a statement to the American people regarding a
comparison between the “moral climate” of NAZI Germany and our great
Nation. That is highly unlikely. I will instead settle for an apology
for the statements he made on Feb. 3, 2003. They are clearly
indefensible. If he does so, I will start tuning into The Agency again.
I wouldn’t say that I’m silent as to why no one has been fired from the
real CIA for missing 9/11. I just can’t think of a way to hold anyone
in the Federal Government accountable for 9/11 (other than those I am
able to vote for). Could you please share your secret method of
removing ineffectual bureaucrats from the government? If it works, I’ll
make it my full time job.
