You were Obama's van driver? A callow, narcissistic, arrogant, inexperienced, naive college student? Then you get a ticket to ride to the top----w/ top ntl security clearance and a spot in the Situation Room when a global crisis breaks out.

Here's the little dude who climbed the ladder of success as Obama's former van driver.

Tommy Vietor being introed on Fox---looks uncomfortable

This person is the end result of inbreeding by wealthy East Eoast liberals. Unlike the PJ’s or Appalachia, where this behavior tends to correct itself rather quickly, it may take another generation or two before the faint echoes of intellect and class die out completely from these hollow shells.

Oh, yeah. What a slug. Him and Anthony Marceca, old high-mileage gumshoe who lost his usefulness when he lost his anonymity.

Night crawlers.

"Guess who I just gave top ntl security clearance to?

Mmmmmmm......those red plaid pajamas must be a relic of

Before the Little Dude got national security clearance.
