Lanny Davis resigns from Bush administration

Yes, you read that correctly. The same Lanny Davis who has been a Clinton sycophant for over a decade has been serving on the Bush administration. From MSNBC:

The White House was hit by two sudden resignations late Monday when Paul McNulty, a top Justice Department official, and Lanny Davis, the only Democratic member of the president’s civil liberties watchdog board, announced they were stepping down. Both resignations are likely to fuel allegations of White House political meddling in law enforcement and national security issues.

Two observations:

1. Hey, Dubya…how’s that “new tone” thingy working for you? You can’t throw bones to people who hate you, dude. Seriously, a Clintonista?

2. Read this again: “White House political meddling in law enforcement and national security issues.” If the president is the top law enforcement officer and national security official, then exactly how is it considered “meddling” in law enforcement and national security? I would argue that he’s doing his job. Granted, we could debate on how well he’s doing his job, but that’s neither here nor there.
