CHERTOFF: We’re also looking at the possibility of a lone wolf and that doesn’t have to necessarily be a terrorist from Al Qaeda. It can be a right wing, you know, crazy nut who decides that they… because of racism or for some other reason they want to carry out an attack.
Talk about sinking the knife right in there. It is not so much that Chertoff is discussing a lone wolf scenario coming from within during the inauguration in January, but does he feel it is necessary to point out that the racism will come from the “right wing?”
Before Chertoff starts endearing himself to lefties, he should be reminded liberals never liked his appointment to begin with. In January 2005, The Daily Kos wrote an entry titled “Michael Chertoff is the worst man in the world to be our Homeland Security Director”
Besides, President Elect Obama already appointed Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense, so the likelihood of another Bush official in Obama’s administration is pretty slim. Chertoff will have to chuck at least two shoes at President Bush in order to find any work in the new administration, because pulling the old “right wingers are a bunch of racists,” may not be enough.

Sun, 12/21/2008 - 22:16 ET by Cool ArrowYeah, I saw this a few days ago. I thought of all those other "right wing" lone wolf types; John Hinckley, Squeaky Fromme, Lee Oswald.
Absolutely Cherkoff, keep looking for that right wing whacko while all those highly contented lefties pass under your nose.
What was he thinking???
Sun, 12/21/2008 - 22:24 ET by needleMichael Chertoff probably has in mind somebody like Lee Harvey Oswald; oh wait, he was a leftist wing nut.
Seriously, Michael, you sound like so many people swept up into Beltway Groupthink. You should start drinking a different brand of bottled water.

We had the christmas party 2 days ago.
Sun, 12/21/2008 - 22:41 ET by JWFA merry time had by all. The right wing nut club christmas party was fun fun fun!
As usual, Cheney got drunk off his butt and started playing shoot a tailfeather with his paintball gun. Lots of red and green butts. He loaded it up with christmas colors.
The architect, Rove, brought a lovely decorated gingerbread house. Topped himself again.
Of course the Fox News Network party was being held next door and they crashed our party AGAIN.
The evening was topped off when we ran around spraying off CO2 extinguishers, yelling "Bring on the Global Warming! It is Gosh Darn cold!"

Chertoff and Paulson -- seperated at birth?
Sun, 12/21/2008 - 23:58 ET by j17ghsChertoff and Paulson are two sickos in the same pea pod. Neither can carry out the macro duties of their respective offices but each seems to have amazing superhuman micro insight into nonsense and pillagery.
Chertoff had better hope

Why is it he has to refer to a right winger when talking about a possible attack on Obama? I hope this pisses off an awful lot of people. I consider myself a righty, but I would never consider some racist nazi skinhead a righty. I consider those people to be scum!

Mon, 12/22/2008 - 16:35 ET by UtherpendDid anyone call him on his choice of words while has was being interviewed?? Chertoff needs to be reprimanded by the president for this and possibly lose his job, but Bush won't lower the hammer on him this late in the game.
