    They’ll replace him with a fresh-faced Regent U. grad during the next Congressional recess.

    Good riddance to bad rubbish. Now, Bush will appoint another sycophant in his place and nothing will change.

    Anyone keeping count of the rats abandoning ship? If they aren’t guilty in their own right, they are leaving because of their association with the biggest criminal cabal ever to afflict this nation.

    My god, I think there is a god. “And the lord sayeth; And lo, the straw that breaketh the camels back is nigh upon you.” So sayeth the lord.

    For more time with his family. Moreover, his brother A.B. “Buzzy” Krongard, a former executive director of the CIA and current Shill for Blackwater.


  17. Daddy-O says:

    Resignation…the worst penalty ever to be paid by a corrupt Bushie.

    When they finally start putting people in jail, let me know.

    The Senate has gotten wise to the President waiting for them to go on recess in order to appoint nominees without Congressional oversight. The Congressional Thanksgiving break didn’t let that happen because Senators took turns coming in and making sure that the Senate wasn’t out of session.

    It’s sad that they have to go to such measures in order to prevent the Executive Branch from exploiting a loophole. I’m guessing that the Senate will setup the same sort of system for the upcoming break as well.

    18 – I hope to god they do.

    They were against resignation before they were faced with prosecution.

    Did somebody hire a piper from Hamlin?


  25. RUCerious says:

    Inspector General busted down to Private citizen. With loss of all pay, bennies, access to the power elite.
    Poor cookie, or buzzy or whatever the hell his nickname is.

    (CNN) — A top-ranking Republican on one of the most influential committees in Congress announced Friday that he plans to resign — opening up yet another G.O.P. seat in a year that has already seen 18 Republicans announce plans to leave the chamber.

    McCrery (R-LA) #19

    wow – these republicans are the real surrender monkeys – i’ll bet the French are getting a good laugh at their expense.
