South Carolina Democrats deserve some serious mocking for winding up with Alvin Greene as their Senate nominee, but mocking Greene himself has made me uncomfortable. From the moment he stepped on the national stage, you got the sense that things just weren’t right with him. Now the AP has obtained some of Greene’s service records from the Air Force, including a performance review which found that Greene was “unable to express thoughts clearly” and “not able to adapt to any changes to daily routine.” Greene was honorably discharged from the Air Force in 2005 but later joined the Army.
