   We all know about Rep. Adam Schiff's gamy ties to pervert and   
   Democratic donor Ed Buck, who's since been busted for his   
   penchant for drugging and sometimes killing not-always-willing   
   young black gay men.  Schiff took at least $2,700 from Buck and   
   posed for a picture with him, too.  Buck was a big in the West   
   Hollywood radical gay community, and Schiff, while not gay,   
   clearly feels at home with those far-leftists.   
      
   Now there's another one turning up in Schiff's orbit.  According   
   to KABC News of Los Angeles:   
      
   PACIFIC PALISADES, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Dr. Bruce M. Hensel, a   
   former longtime medical correspondent for KNBC in Los Angeles,   
   was arrested Wednesday morning on suspicion of asking a 9-year-   
   old girl to send him sexually suggestive pictures, authorities   
   said.   
      
   Hensel, 71, was taken into custody about 10:15 a.m. by   
   investigators from the Los Angeles Police Department's Juvenile   
   Division, a spokesperson for the agency said. He was released   
   later in the day after posting $5,000 bail.   
      
   Eeew.  And there are unconfirmed reports that Schiff was friends   
   with the man.  That detail isn't confirmed just yet, and it's   
   well known that journalists are not supposed to donate to   
   political campaigns, which makes the matter hard to prove.  What   
   is known is that Schiff is close enough to the man to   
   participate in common political missions with him.  In 2009,   
   Schiff participated in a Hensel-moderated town hall in Alhambra   
   to lie to voters about Obamacare.  Both were well known   
   advocates pushing against skeptical members of the public to   
   assure that all was well with the now detested program.   
      
   Here's the 2009 Los Angeles Times report about the two of them   
   together:   
      
   Schiff tried to quiet the concerns of the politically charged   
   crowd by hammering home his perspective with a set of panelists   
   — including representatives of major medical, consumer and   
   nonprofit organizations — who agreed with his stance.   
   Introductory addresses from Schiff, panelists and town hall   
   moderator Bruce Hensel of KNBC took up more than 40 minutes of   
   the event, which began after 7 p.m. and was slated to finish   
   about 9 p.m.   
      
   The barrage of information from speakers about the competitive   
   market advantages of a public health-care option, or the   
   downside of incorporating preexisting conditions in insurers'   
   decisions to deny coverage drew frustrated boos from much of the   
   crowd, which frequently chanted, "Questions! Questions!"   
      
   When the questions began, Schiff hoped to dispel what he   
   characterized as "one of the popular myths about the bill" when   
   an audience member expressed concerns that she would have to   
   give up her current insurance plan if a government-run insurance   
   option was created.   
      
   Remember those salad days?  Schiff and Hensel were working   
   together to spread the phony narrative.   
      
   Here's how bad it was, based on a blogger from a blog called   
   Pasadena Sub Rosa who was there, showing how closely Hensel and   
   Schiff worked together:   
      
   Schiff's Townhall meeting was originally to be held in a small   
   theater where only about 200 could be accommodated.  Due to the   
   huge turnout, estimated between 4,000 to 6,000, the meeting was   
   instead held outdoors on a stage in front of the Library in   
   Alhambra. By the sound of the crowd, those opposing the proposed   
   health care reform were in much greater numbers than the   
   proponents.   
      
   The meeting was not an American Townhall format. It was more   
   like the Soviet propaganda meeting described above. Health care   
   experts all with affiliations with the Democratic Party and pro-   
   Obama-care shared the stage with Schiff.  They were all given   
   microphones and given time to filibuster the first half of the   
   meeting with lectures and propaganda in support of Obama-care.   
      
   Questions were taken from the audience but none of the   
   questioners was given a microphone. Instead their questions had   
   to be translated by moderator Dr. Bruce Hensel. Their voices and   
   their rage were muted out and marginalized because no one could   
   hear them over the sound of the crowd. Their voices were   
   relegated to heckling, shouting over the speakers from afar,   
   waving signs, all to no avail. Schiff and his entourage of   
   elitist experts propounded the advantages of "scientific" health   
   care and "computerized" medical records which would lower costs
