Sharkey, I still serve/work now. Crusty, profane egomaniac? "When you work for a man, you do his work for him. I do not have any use for a man who does not read". Ref. "Mulholland &The Rise of Los Angeles" by Catherine Mulholland. Men like that tend to attract admirers & detractors. The first time I met Mr. Freeman & shook his hand, I said something to him like "I understand that you are the trouble shooter around here". And he said to me, "Well, some people call me the trouble maker."

roadhog118b,
What makes you think I know nothing about him? Just because I attack your hero you assume I know nothing about this old curmudgeon? You met the guy? Wow. I, unfortunately, have worked for him. In reality, he's a crude and profane egomaniac who cares about nothing more than advancing his own interests. Yes, even at his age.

Sorry Sharkey,
You really should not comment about someone you know nothing about. . This entire country could use many more Dave Freemans, especially at this time. I have personally met this man, heard his stand on water & energy issues and am aware of his policy vis a vis these issues. His record stands on its own merit. What are your credentials?

Your hero? He's an old time politician out to enrich himself and his friends.

Brilliant interview. I hope President Obama gets a chance to listen to this interview. Even though it's 6 years old, it's relevent.
