Get a load of this:
Andrew Traver has been tapped to lead the nation’s top crime-fighting agency, which hasn’t had a director in over four years. (See our August report about the unprecedented vacancy here.) He is the current ATF chief for the Chicago region – home to the city where last July 303 people were shot and 33 killed in 31 days.Oh, in that single brief para there's so much stupid I don't even know where to begin.
Let's start with "the nation's top crime-fighting agency." No, Comrade Paul's not talking about the FBI, which likes to think of itself that way. He's talking about the good ol' ATF, whose agents travel to gun shows the wide continent over looking for "crimes" to punish, like when somebody marks "Y" instead of "Yes" on a goobmint form. Dangerous, desperate criminals, those. Good thing the brave heroes of ATF can take a break from the mayhem from time to time by raiding a church. And when they even screw that up, at least they've got FBI goons to burn it down for them. (No, Paul. We haven't forgotten that, nor are we likely to soon.) Hell, Paul - even the good boys and girls of F-troop would be shocked to hear themselves called anybody's "top crime-fighting agency." It wasn't even us that started calling them that - it was their embarrassed brothers in federal service.
And imagine, if you can stand it, the horror of going Over Four Years without a "permanent" politically-appointed bureaucrat in charge of this grand organization. Why, it causes me to shed a bitter tear for my nation.
But at last a hero arises! We're saved! Yes, those evil NRA murderers and their vile henchmen will know judgment is at hand, for Andrew Traver strides from the golden, peaceful streets of ... uh, wait. What did you say again, Paul?
...the city where last July 303 people were shot and 33 killed in 31 days.Chicago? He comes from frickin' Chicago? But Paul, that place is a hellhole! They've got gun control laws that make East Germany look like Libertopia, and any sane man'd be afraid to go there with a sack of magazines and a posse! And certainly not because the cops are so efficient! Jesus, Paul! After all this time, don't you know how to propagandize? Touting a Chicago fed as the Great Hope of Law'n'Order is like putting nutritional information in an ad for Twinkies! You're supposed to be for gun control, and you trot out Chicago like it's a good thing? What kind of idiot are you?
Oh, yeah. First rate.
H/T to Tam.
