Update on agent who shot self in foot. Great Moments in FAIL

There was a new development this week in the historic incident of DEA agent Lee Paige, who accidentally shot himself in the foot during a youth presentation in 2004.

Paige filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. government, complaining that the DEA leaked the video, which he states appeared on such familiar shows as

the Jay Leno Show, a Curreent Affair, and Jimmy Kimbel (kimmel) Live.

Paige claims that the embarrassment and publicity has ruined his career as both public speaker (like Tony Robbins) and undercover officer (like Tony Robbins with a mustache) which linguists agree is the most oxymoronic combination of terms since "gay Republicans."

It must have been difficult for Paige to watch his reputation to America's youth sink from "Respected Federal Agent" to "nothing but a big fat doo-doo-head"

But a judge threw out the case this week, so Paige's attempt to gain financial compensation for the embarrassment has only served to remind us of the incident so he could face more embarrassment as we note that he has once again shot himself in the foot. This has been a great moment in FAIL.

My favorite from Bach's Brandenburg Concerto's, number 4 in G, movement 1. Called it. Also, your videos are awesome, why do you only have 99 views?!

@DBSpenser I'm impressed!!! And thanks! I'm not exactly sure why there are so few views; perhaps it's because so few YouTubers are as cultured as us!

Are you beginning a new series? Or, is it an already-extant one that I've just zoned-out about?

In any event, love the kitschy "Klass" (with a capital "K") of the picture frames, blazer and Bach.

@polemius01 This is the first installment in a (potential) new series. I wanted to talk about the DEA agent because his case was just thrown out, and because the original incident happened 7 years ago, I had the idea to give it a cheesy "Masterpiece Theater" treatment. But I didn't have the leather-bound books laying around the house for that, so I decided to make it look like a kitschy "hall of fame" for gaffes.

@FAILocracy How about trying sitting on a stool, one foot on the floor, one on a rung, with a book in your hand (or, an important-looking folder rolled up)? It just screams "cheesy intellectual wannabe host."

Of course, your being an intellectual might get in the way of that.

@polemius01 Thanks! I will definitely use that pose!

If only it were one of those ATF bastards who shot himself in the foot. I'd pay money to see that.
