      Any credibility he had ought to have crumbled in the early 2000s when he promoted Oxycontin and pushed a deal to continue sales. Absolutely mind-boggling, I read about him 15 years afterward and I’m amazed by how conservatives fell in line to defend a ghoul who tried to get them all hooked on opioids for a nickel just because he said some pretty words about defending the orange god-king or whatever.

          Didn’t he also move the response teams INTO the towers after the first attack, despite being told it’s a bad idea?

            Oh sorry. Yes. That did happen and it was the clusterfuck you would expect from such a big-brained decision.
