[Mad Mammoth]

"You should be aware that one of our group helped track down and kill Pablo Escobar and other middle eastern terrorists."

Yeah, I was wondering when Pablo starting bowing in the direction of Mecca. I'm developing a new theory about Johnson, he didn't email me to make threats, or to intimidate me, he might have just emailed me because he was three sheets to the wind, an empty bottle of something on the floor, and it suddenly hit him that "waaaaiiitt a dayum minute, whhyyyy I'll just email that smartass mammoth, dont care if it makes him mad or not!! I'll show that disrespectful freep-creep!!! (hic!)"

And after the second email, he passed out until the morning sunshine smacked him in his big, ugly face.

I love it.

Hey Mad you coming over to the Tony Snow thread tomorrow? He said he was going after the Larry Johnson Brigades tomorrow.

LOL, he called them the ex-CIA nuts.

That was the very first thing I thought when I read the exchange. In fact, this poor schmuck's synapses seemed to be so soaked in alcohol, I swear I could smell Johnny Walker coming out of the fan of my laptop as I was scrolling through his rant. Of course, if I had been definitively exposed as profoundly, and irredeemably, negligent in my chosen field of expertise and, further, had had my professional competency completely discredited in such a spectacularly public fashion as he has, I guess I'd be hittin' the sauce pretty hard myself.I mean, what do you do after literally everyone in the world knows you can't cut it even in the washed-up capacity of "Former Official of the Fill-In-The -Blank Govt Agcy"? Not only is he an ex-intelicrat, he's an ex-intelicrat who everyone now knows in all probability achieved that status for exhibiting a degree of ineptitude that even a gov agency world-famous for tolerating the potted plants on its HR rolls couldn't justify cranking out a monthly paycheck anymore for. And everybody he'll ever meet again at even the C-list parties in DC will inevitably know that he's the notorious "expert" who proclaimed that, in his most carefully measured judgement, terrorists did not pose a threat to America on the eve of 9/11. Man, with kind of street cred he's got now, if the choice is either move to Topeka and start a new career at the DMV or just start drawing disability,sluggin' back the caipirinhas and IM'ing perfect strangers who long ago posted on no-longer-current current event BB's, I dunno. I fear I might have chosen the ol' alcoholic dementia route myself. Pathetic character, this Larry Johnson, really.
