Man-on-the-Street who Asked Hillary about the Bosnia Lie is Pittsburgh Rooney Royalty (Steelers, Pirates)

avatar

Tom Rooney was the man-on-the-street who asked Hillary about the Bosnia lie at the Philadelphia debate. But Mr. Rooney is not your average man-on-the-street.

Tom Rooney is the former executive vice president and COO of the Pittsburgh Penguins. He is the cousin of Pittsburgh Steeler owner Dan Rooney, who recently endorsed Barack Obama.

He is also the uncle of Thomas Rooney, a Republican candidate for the 16th congressional district in Florida (Mark Foley's old stomping grounds), who used to work in Attorney General Charlie Crist's office.

Otherwise you can cut and paste.

Good digging on this... I like the quote from the second link:

"Problems are opportunities dressed in drag," [Rooney] says.

ABC is shameless and has contempt for their audience. Film at 11.
