Hey, I'm willing to let it slide that the Rick Noriega is too scared to answer a simple email from me about attempts by his supporters to turn his National Guard change of command into a political event.

I'm willing to excuse his staff adding my email address to their spam-ad list because they harvested it from the email Noriega is dodging.

I'm even willing to concede Noriega has no culpability when one of his supporters potentially violates the Hatch Act by operating a political blog supporting him (note that 2:37 PM time stamp on a Monday) on government time (and soliciting funds for him and other candidates) .

However, this is all we need to see to determine that Rick Noriega is unfit for any office -- Rick Noriega has kow-towed to the KOSsacks.

UPDATE: He also blogged on DailyKos -- meaning he is willing to associate himself with all the hate-mongers and conspiracy theorists there.
