From Douglass to Marshall to....Snowden???

From the great state that brought forth Thurgood Marshall and Frederick Douglass, we now bring you, ta dum, Carl Snowden!! Carl Snowden? Yup-Doug Gansler has just given him a fancy new job as an expert in civil rights. Good Grief--how can we forget Snowden? His last "job" was as a sinecure in the Owens Administration right here in AA County where he apparently did much ado about nothing, but always seemed to show up everywhere making some statement about something or other and it was always confusing and unclear as to whether he was speaking for Ms. Owens and AA County, or for some "community" or for himself. I mean--what did the guy do??? Except of course, get pulled over, not once, but twice for drunk driving? Or was he being victimized? I got the scoop on this from a well-placed source in the Owens Admin. AND a high level Annapolis police officer personally told me, "I wish I was the one who pulled him over for drunk driving--and I wish he would have resisted arrest." Yep--and this cop is an African-American!
Yet amazingly, this is what our own Capital opined recently:

New Attorney General Doug Gansler created the position to give his office "strong leadership and representation in the civil rights area." If Mr. Gansler wants someone who has been active in that area for many years - and already knows all the players - he'd be hard put to find anyone better suited than Mr. Snowden.
Um, yeah, I am sure we would all be "hard put" to find anyone better....as if there is no other accomplished, intelligent, hardworking civil rights expert or activist in our entire State. Stay tuned--if Snowden gets a DWI while working for the state's top law enforcement official, it may turn out differently for him than when he was just a shill for a county executive.
