Chas Freeman withdraws from the bid for chair at the National Intelligence Council:
“Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair announced today that Ambassador Charles W. Freeman Jr. has requested that his selection to be Chairman of the National Intelligence Council not proceed. Director Blair accepted Ambassador Freeman’s decision with regret.”
Ed Driscoll notes:
Freeman has been under fire for quite some time, though the White House has had little to say on the matter.
It’s Limbaugh’s fault, obviously.
Heard something funny on the radio today….Obama’s new drug czar….well, his stepson has a drug arrest on his record.
Countdown until Herr Buchanan weighs in . . .

I figured the way things are going, Obama would nominate the guy from “Breaking Bad” as his new drug czar.
You mean Pat Buchanan, JoelR? I’ve heard he’ll be the next ambassador to Israel, or the “Zionist Entity” as Mr Buchanan prefers to call it.
Nah. Obama wouldn’t nominate him; he’s anti-abortion.
Actually Freeman blamed the Jews for his hard time.

Maybe he should nominate Farrakan or the good Reverend Wright.
