Ollie North, "history guy"?

Jeebus help me.... C&L presents Ollie North defending the appeasement dustup. THIS IS THE LAST PERSON WHO SHOULD TALK ABOUT GIVING SHIT TO AMERICAN ENEMIES. Ahem. Sorry about the screaming. But the stupid, it burns. C&L comment:

For someone who was lucky not to have spent the better part of the last two decades making license plates, he’s got some nerve touching this topic. This is the guy who oversaw the arms for hostages deal with Iran in 1985 (among other crimes), right in the middle of the Iran-Iraq war in which the US was actively and openly arming and supporting Saddam Hussein. Ollie North didn’t just talk with Iran at a time they were our enemy in a proxy-war, he actually helped to arm them, bypassing Congress by violating the Boland Amendment to help fund an illegal war in Nicaragua.

Lacking even a shred of credibility, Fox News’ “history guy” is to the truth in the historical record what Dick Cheney is to gun safety. He shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the subject, and anyone who believes a word of what he says about it is a fool.

Word!
