Rahmbo headed back to Chicago early. ObamaBob's gone. The economic team that managed to run both the deficit and unemployment rate to dizzying heights is headed back to academia, where they will be lionized for their 'vision'.
And the fink who fired Juan Williams over the phone has just resigned. Her boss will be forgoing her bonus.
It's dawned upon the NPR board that their homeboyz in the past Congress never managed to pass a 2011 budget. And that there's a whole new bunch of people in Congress, many of whom NPR managed to alienate last year, now in charge of the checkbook.
A sacrificial lamb becomes necessary at such a moment.
Bye-bye, Ellen! Let's see if this has a sobering effect on those she leaves behind.
From Fox News:
The NPR executive who sparked a public outrcy in October by firing journalist Juan Williams is resigning from her job, the organization announced Thursday.
Ellen Weiss resigned as senior vice president for news on the same day that NPR's board of directors completed its independent review of the dismissal of Williams. The directors recommended new internal procedures for personnel decisions and disciplinary action.
The board expressed confidence in CEO Vivian Schiller's leadership but voted to forgo her 2010 bonus because of "concern over her role in the termination process." Schiller drew criticism in November for saying Williams should keep his feelings about Muslims between him and "his psychiatrist or publicist" -- comments that she later apologized for.
Williams, who is a Fox News contributor, cheered the announcement.
Let us hope the January trickle becomes the 2011 Stampede of Leftists, beating it out of town while they can, seeking shelter where they may. And, may shelter be difficult to locate. If you feed them, they just hide out and plot their return to power.
