You're doing a heck of a job, Tommy


Bush crony and incompetent buffoon Kenneth Tomlinson has resigned from his post as chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. His resignation comes at a propitious moment: the CPB's inspector general had, the day before, issued a report critical of Tomlinson's leadership.

Tomlinson has spent his time at CPB hunting liberal bias with the same zeal as Michael Brown looking for a five-star steak house in Baton Rouge. Two years ago, Tomlinson famously contracted with a consulting firm to monitor Bill Moyer's PBS program NOW. And then he lied about it, saying somebody else signed the contract. He's spent his entire term whining about liberal bias in public broadcasting, when what he really objects to is the refusal by journalists to parrot GOP talking points. Because, you see, it's not enough for Karl Rove to have Fox News in his pocket. He needs PBS, too.

Tomlinson's war on public broadcasting is reflective of this admininstration's "for us or against us" mindset that should be deeply troubling to anybody who cares about this country.
