Commerce Department Inspector General resigns.
Facing multiple investigations and an impending report recommending he be punished for violating the whistle-blower protection law, Commerce Department Inspector General Johnnie E. Frazier resigned yesterday. Frazier is “the subject of three separate government investigations into allegations that he misspent his budget and retaliated against employees who raised concerns about his actions.” His resignation is effective June 29.

Another one bites the dust.
Chimpy did to the various agencies’ IG’s what he did with the US Attorneys.
June 8th, 2007 at 5:17 pmDamn. How many Bush administration appointees does that make who have resigned in disgrace or under investigation?
June 8th, 2007 at 5:17 pmThey’re dropping like flies.
June 8th, 2007 at 5:19 pmRoboTroll 3100 reports:
The Commerce Department Inspector General serves at the Pleasure of the President.
No underlying law was broken.
Johnnie Frazier worked at a desk job at the Commerce Dept.
Those three separate government investigations are all show trials/partisan witch hunts.

June 8th, 2007 at 5:34 pmJeez…can’t these freaks get someone clean for once?

June 8th, 2007 at 5:41 pmWhat a funny, funny day..
June 8th, 2007 at 5:42 pmWith each new headline it becomes more and more surreal (and laughable) ..
Wait! Maybe I am still asleep and this is all just a very weird dream..
The implosion of the Bush administration gets more entertaining day by day.
….and depressing.
June 8th, 2007 at 6:03 pmWhere did Bush Jr. find all these people?
Did he get recommendations from the mafia or what?
June 8th, 2007 at 6:05 pmWhy doesn’t his whole administration resign, like they are all crooks anyway? It’s not like there is a single honest person in there.

June 8th, 2007 at 6:15 pmPretty damn sad when the IG gets whistle blown.
June 8th, 2007 at 6:26 pmOf course, that’s the standard for this administration, corruption to the core.
“Frazier, who since 1999 has served as the department’s chief watchdog responsible for investigating waste, fraud and abuse, told the administration that he is retiring effective June 29, congressional and White House officials said.”
My God, that Bush is evil! He even appointed this guy before he was even president!

Actually, the Mafia is usually more competent than this.
