I'm old enough to have been on the business end of a Road Pop. Or two. And I've certainly driven home when I shouldn't have.

We need the good guys during the bad administrations. Sure it would be neat to work for Obama. But there might have been more need - if not actual opportunities to do the right thing - during the Administrations of George Bush.

Mr. Crocker didn't set policy - at least on the national scale. I don't see he started any wars - although he did his level best to finish a few.

I'm sorry to read this. Ryan Crocker is a brave man who has served his country well. I'm somewhat disapppointed the Wonketters couldn't cut him much slack here.

Of course it's wrong to be driving around lit up like a Christmas tree. Bad behavior. We can all agree on that.

We can be happy no body got hurt. Or killed.

But the gloating seems a bit unseemly right through here.

We should invite him to the Wonkette drinky thing in Tampa.

Obama's former ambassador. Obama's fault. Nuff said.,
