Another Bush Croney Bites The Dust

HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson is expected to resign today under a cloud of trouble. However, for me, Jackson really distinguished himself back in 2006 when he spoke openly about his intention to award HUD contracts based on whether people were politically aligned with Bush or not:

"Why should I reward someone who doesn't like the president, so they can use funds to try to campaign against the president?" Mr. Jackson was quoted as saying in the Dallas Business Journal. "Logic says they don't get the contract. That's the way I believe."
