Tomlinson Resigns

[Conker]

"Pending the report of an investigation into his attempts to turn the public broadcasting into an arm of the Republican National Committee, former CPB chair Ken Tomlinson resigned late last week! Thanks for your work this summer!"

2. That was some damn spiffy news, but there are more that need to go.

"Despite his departure, the CPB remains firmly controlled by conservatives. Tomlinson's successor as chairman, Cheryl F. Halpern, is a longtime contributor to Republicans, including President Bush and Sen. Trent Lott (Miss.). Its vice chairman, Gay Hart Gaines, another Republican contributor, was a founder and former chairman of GOPAC, a powerful GOP fundraising group."
