Alvin Greene; the vets who the Democrats attract

Alvin Greene, that Democrat candidate for the Senate in South Carolina who won the primary by spending no money, without campaigning and without speaking is still charging ahead in his campaign. The Associated Press got a hold of his records finally. Looks like he was on of the ten percenters holding the rest of us up on his evals’; (Charlotte Observer link)

The records, which document his superiors’ decisions to pass over Green for promotion, cite mistakes as severe as improperly uploading sensitive intelligence information to a military server, and as basic as an overall inability to clearly express his thoughts and perform basic tasks.

Greene is “usually capable of handling mundane tasks with supervision” but is “not able to adapt to any changes to daily routine,” the reviewer wrote, also noting that Greene had received multiple disciplinary actions for failing to perform his duties. Greene was also written up for posting sensitive information on a military Internet server, a mistake that resulted in a three-day work stoppage. Records showed Greene was kept at Shaw while the rest of his unit deployed after leadership “recognized his inability to contribute to the wartime mission.”

Of course, Greene relies heavily on his 13-year military record for his campaign while releasing no details. And if you missed it, one of his plans to relieve unemployment in the country is to sell action figures of himself in both Army and Air Force uniforms – the two services who have booted him for his incompetence.

I haven’t read anything from COB6. SC’s newest resident, but DrewM at Ace of Spades writes;

If this guy were running against Lindsay Graham, I’d send him money.

The guy acts borderline retarded, I guess the safest place for him is the Senate.

Thanks to CavRick for the link.
