Don't forget Ann Falter's phony accent. Fake as Sheer InSannity's laugh.

Wasn't Fawn the young lady killed in the woman's school kiln explosion in "Animal House?" And "The National Lampoon High School Yearbook?" Also.

Unless you have a hot sexratery in thigh-high boots to smuggle the papers out of the office for you.

Looking again at that photo - was Ollie still a Marine when he wore that uniform with every ribbon he could dig out?

Don't forget the $20,000 security system installed at Ollie's home. He claimed the funds came from "tag sales." Spy Magazine (R.I.P.!) figured out it would take a footlocker to hold all the loose change that would amount to twenty grand.

"Despite the sensationalist headline on this post, North is probably not actually responsible for all this, though maybe he (or his paid staff) should have asked some questions before just cut-and-pasting longish passages from emails from someone who isn’t a professional journalist."

Next thing ya know, the FoxPAC will run heavily edited amateur videos from self-proclaimed activist journalists without vetting them first.

Then where will we be?

If I remember correctly, he got into his secretary's panties. Sorry, got secret documents into his secretary's panties.

Jesus Christ, where did this fucktard come back from? This is as bad as finding that years old shopping bag full of undone laundry under the couch.

This reminds me of how Mitt Romney -- <i>through no fault of his own</i> -- plagiarized Obama's health care reform while governor of Massachusetts (sounds liberal) back in the aughts.

Or of how -- <i>through no fault of his own</i> -- he has copied all of George Dubya Bush's policies into his platform.

Also how -- <i>through no fault of his own</i> -- all those people got laid off while he was at Bain.

Sheer InSannity ran those "Freedom Concerts" for Ollie North's foundation. No audited financials, of course. Personally, I've looked at the editorial material on that website and I'm astonished it has been able to keep its tax-exempt status.

I've looked at their financials, and they waste a lot of money (in my opinion) and spend remarkably little on their stated goals. Skip the annual dinner and give scholarships, is my advice.

Here are two excellent articles on Col. North: <a href="http:\/\/www.hackworth.com\/18oct94.html" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.hackworth.com/18oct94.html">http://www.hackworth.com/18... <a href="http:\/\/www.airborne-ranger.com\/ranger\/wannabees\/OllieNorth.html" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.airborne-ranger.com/ranger/wannabees/O...">http://www.airborne-ranger....

Finally - listen to Bob Schieffer's "Face the Nation" interview with Ollie. It ran before the Super Bowl when poor Ollie was a political candidate. Schieffer had done his homework and knew every canned answer North had ready. He listened and then followed up.

Priceless!
