President Obama has asked Seattle Police Chief and Seattle’s biggest hoplophobe with a badge, R. Gil Kerlikowske, to join his administration in the position of #2 Drug Czar.
I predict that any hope the potheads had of PBO legalizing their hobby have been thoroughly dashed.
This also completes the Administrations Royal Flush of anti-firearm civil rights cards. We can now expect them to be able to produce a dozen inside officials for any hearing the Congress decides to hold on why the citizenry should become mere subjects.
Hey, maybe he can use his new office in the federal government to find this service pistol.
There has been little speculation that I have seen as to who will replace him (the position of Police Chief is an appointment). His Deputy, Clark Kimerer, the Assistant Chief, Nick Metz, and former Assistant Chief, Herb Johnson, are all in the running.
I have no doubt that Mayor Greg “Made of Fail” Nickels will interview these men long and hard until he finds out which one of them is the biggest gun bigot, choosing the one who will march in lockstep with him and his opinions on the evilness of privately owned firearms.
Good riddance, Gil.
