Not a banner day for cronies. First, Brownie's unflattering e-mail comments came to light:
- "I got it at Nordstroms...Are you proud of me? Can I quit now? Can I go home?"
- "If you'll look at my lovely FEMA attire you'll really vomit. I am a fashion god."
- advice on ordering at Sonic: "Order a #2, tater tots, large diet cherry limeade."
Then Republican hack, Ken Tomlinson, resigned his post at the Center for Public Broadcasting. As Free Press executive director Josh Silver was quoted: “It’s time to clean house at CPB. We need to get the politics out and put the public back in public broadcasting.” Amen, brother.
And all this after Harriet Miers getting shot down last week. It's time for the ultimate cronies, Cheney and Rove, to be shown the door. Is it too much to ask that people be hired because they are the most qualified and the smartest? And not because they are big fundraisers or because they've been carrying the water for your family since the dawn of time.

We need to show the rest of the Bushistas at CPB out the door too. As for Cheney and Rove, you know what I hope is in their future (hint: heads will role)
Agreed. The leadership there is still very Republican-heavy. I'm not even sure that it will change that much having Tomlinson out. But, he's definitely the public-face of the problems that are going on over there.
