"Holy crap, Dan looks like a total corrupt A$$!!!"
No-no-no. Dan is just illustrating his thesis, promulgated some time back in answer to a question about Clinton, i.e., that a man can be a pathological liar and still be an honest man at the same time. Yup, he said it, and now he's showing us what it's like.
How is CBS going to explain away the fact that Staudt retired before the memos were written?
So true. Dan is the embodiment of that statement.
