The NYT will issue the first report on the "controversy" that has been broiling over this nutjob for several weeks on Tuesday -- more than 36 hours after he resigns. And they wonder why they're in the tank? The way the media handled this, and every other kook czar Obama has appointed to unaccountable positions of real power in his administration, has been shameful in a frightening and rather shocking way. Not one word about it on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, or the NYT at all, till today, when they kinda had to. I am torn between Cass Susstein and Mark Lloyd as the next target of belated scrutiny. Cass's lunacy is a special kind of bizarre, and his legal writings (whether waxing eloquent about giving animals the right to an attorney, or making the case that young people's lives are more worthy of scarce resources than old people's lives) are entertaining on a kind of macabre level that I actually enjoy, but when you consider he's our "regulatory czar" his potential damage to the economy is arguably greater. On the other hand, "diversity czar" Mark Lloyd is a direct threat to free speech. He's on record praising Hugo Chavez's approach to the media after the "revolution" (which he praises), but he has another dubious distinction (and apparent resume enhancer in this Secret Service-be-damned human resources department Obama has created): to wit, he helped found the domestic terrorist organization known as the Weather Underground with none other than... Bill Ayers! You know, that college professor in Obama's neighborhood whom he barely knew (after serving for a long time on two left-wing foundations with him, and having his first political fundraiser in his home). The one who probably ghost edited (if not ghost wrote) his first memoir, "Dreams from my Father"... the one who said on Sept 11 that he regretted he "didn't do enough" to oppose the US government back in the glory days of his own deadly attacks on law officers and the Pentagon. There are a bunch of others to choose from -- Obama's extraconsitutional czarist "politburo" is the most target rich environment for true-red America hating nutjobs ever assembled in the Oval Office -- but these two seem somehow most worthy of a good solid public outing.
