"I'm the only one in this room professional enough..."



Yeah, remember this dimwit?

Apparently, he's now SUING the DEA over the release of the tape that shows him being an irresponsible dumbass. Yep, SUING!

According to the Smoking Gun, Lee Paige is suing the DEA for "improperly, illegally, willfully and/or intentionally" allowing the tape to be disseminated.

As a result, Paige--pictured above in a still from the video--has been the "target of jokes, derision, ridicule, and disparaging comments" directed at him in restaurants, grocery stores, and airports. Paige, who writes that he was "once regarded as one of the best undercover agents, if not the best, in the DEA," points to the clip's recent airing on popular television shows and via the Internet as the reason he can no longer work undercover. He also notes that he is no longer "permitted or able to give educational motivational speeches and presentations."


Gee, is anyone else shocked that a supposed "professional" who forgot to remove the magazine and chambered a round before pulling the trigger on a gun in a classroom full of kids and shooting himself in the foot, while yelling about being the "only one professional enough" in the classroom to have a Glock, would be barred from giving "educational speeches and presentations?"

So apparently he's the only one professional enough to negligently discharge a weapon in a classroom filled with children, but not professional enough to accept that his actions were irresponsible and dangerous. Instead of taking a good, hard look in the mirror and realizing that he DESERVED the heaps of ridicule he got for being a conceited, negligent nincompoop, he's suing the DEA.

Yeah, he's real professional alright. Watch the video. It's linked above.
