WASHINGTON An official at the department of Housing And Urban Development whose criticized tweets suggesting that there could be questions about the military records of former platoon mates of Bowe Bergdahl apologized Thursday to service members and the Obama administration.
While I just wanted to make the point that the public should wait before passing judgment, I unfortunately used my own poor judgment in choosing inappropriate language that many view as disparaging to U.S. service members, said Brandon Friedman, deputy assistant secretary of public affairs at HUD. That was certainly not my intent and I regret making the comments on my personal account in such a way. I apologize to those with whom I work in the Administration, at HUD, and, most importantly, to any service members who took offense.

Megyn Kelly will have six of the dysfunctional” “psycopaths” in Birddog’s unit on tonight.
This meme will die off after Kelly’s show.
It doesn't take an Einstein to recognize a stupid and degrading tweet. This administration loves the military for photo-ops, not much else.
Somebody has to come up with a "modified limited hang-out." Remember that one?
So, if a local criminal takes a hostage and demands the release of notorious killers on death’s row or the hostage will be killed, then the stated policy of our police is to release notorious killers?
Do I have Obama’s thinking right on this?
We do deal with terrorists if it’s a hostage death threat....that’s the policy?
A government bow wow speaks.
Yeah, when she said that the brilliant trading that allowed her to parlay a $1000 account into a $100,000 profit was the result of her reading the Wall Street Journal. Sane people who paid attention alleged that she was being bribed or paid off by someone who was putting in identical orders--one to buy and the other to sell--and placing the winning orders in her account while eating the losers in his own account. The odds of doing what Hillary did by simply making profitable trades were in the probability range of winning the PowerBall Lottery while simultaneously getting hit by lightning.
Not good enough. He deliberately insulted ALL serving and veteran military members, and especially those who serve or have served in combat arms.
Disgusting puke! This clueless jerk claims to be a veteran. You would think he would know better.
That was Nixon, right? Or are we talking about Clinton and Monica?
This is great!
Fire him now. The apology shtick is pointless.
I think it was John Eichmann, one of Nixon’s peeps, who can up with that brilliant idea.
There........Fixed it.
So, he mean what he said but wished he’s used more weasel language.
I’m expecting next to hear that he’s gay, and infected with AIDS or the Camel-sourced MERS virus.
How long until Bowe requests to become Bonnie?
A non apology apology. Just say you were wrong, period. This guy did intend to demonize the deserters unit cause he sought to defend Obama.

Alas this rush to judgement is not only painful for the #Bergdahl family but frankly unAmerican. This is not who we are. @sapienist

Many of us have Qs about #Bergdahl and his dysfunctional platoon as chronicled by Michael Hastings. Awaiting Army investigation of all that.

@andrewpcurrier: @sfpelosi A dysfunctional platoon?? Now who is judging and labeling. Hypocrite.

@sfpelosi MT @Sarangelop: @sfpelosi Did you call out Dems that referred to Republicans as terrorists/hostage takers /Ds and Rs https://twitter.com/sfpelosi/status/385863632967319552

No - read my TL. First tweets were about the value of a life. Still want to know ALL the facts - as I presume most of USA do. @tonykatz

@tonykatz No. I purposefully called the platoon dysfunctional - “as chronicled by Michael Hastings.” An entity of people that included him.
This same guy was trotted out years ago on Obermann’s show.
It is a political activist appointment.
He was doing as directed.
He didn’t even need to be told what to do. Charles Manson didn’t tell his followers how to kill those people either.
Hey numbnuts, the taxpayers are paying your six figure salary so that you can exercise good judgment. I suspect bad judgment is the default position for you and everyone else in this psycho administration.
If I were one of the soldiers he libeled by suggesting they are psychopaths, I'd be suing his @$$ off right now.
Not only did he exercise bad judgment, but he committed an actionable tort.
Of course if he did it on a government computer, then the government will have to pay the judgment. That means you and I.
