This Meehan character is just not some "ordinary" staffer. Turns out that he was "The Senior Communications Adviser" for get this...the 2004 Kerry for President Campaign. He was already a high ranking 'Rat Operative and that was 6 years ago! This claim about the incident being inadvertent is complete BS. He knew exactly what he was doing.
I knew that he looked familiar:
He’s also in the Administration. Zer0 appointed him a member of the Broadcasting Board of Governors.
