Prior to that, Mr. Taylor was Coordinator for Counterterrorism at the Department of State with the rank of Ambassador at Large.
Lanny is despised on this forum, but you're right about that. I'll give Lanny credit for something else as well. He at least has the guts to go on places like Hannity's radio show and defend his views. He doesn't hide behind the protective media cloak like so many others.
What is this oversight panel going to do
They didn't listen, not so ironically, he tried to warn the Kerry campaign, they also didn't listen.
Honestly, at first glance I thought it read, "President Bush Appoints Lenny Kravitz" to something-or-other.
Congressman Billybob
Does this take Lanny out of the talking head Democrat go-to list? I would think it does.
Yup. It moves him right to the insiders leaking list.
Cool. A step up!
D.C. is an incestuous town. Especially at the higher end of the D.C. bar.
Think Orwell.
Lanny is a lying, shifty scumbag. There is no question or issue where his position can't be predicted. He will ALWAYS answer with the pro-Clinton, anti-American side. He might not be as weaselly obnoxious as Begala or Emanuel or McAuliffe, but the result is ALWAYS the same!! Lanny will ALWAYS mouth the crapweasel talking points for the day. He is incapable of independent or honest thought!!
lanny davis has been ext complimentary towards bush these long years
he has kept his differences with the president on a policy and not a personal level
The release doesn't say. I suppose it's to ensure our rights aren't being violated in the war on terror.
Replace the aclu?
What?
I realize that Lanny Davis knows President Bush and doesn't speak badly about him publicly.
However, as part of the Clinton administration, which REGULARLY invaded citizen's privacy, I find it disturbing that Davis was appointed to this Commission. VERY disturbing.
It's so private, they can't tell us.
LOL
