Hans Has Left The Building
By Paul Kiel - Jan 3, 2008 - http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/005012.php

From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/shared-blogs/ajc/politicalinsider/entries/2008/01/03/von_spakovsky_says_goodbye_to.html):

Hans von Spakovsky threw in the towel on New Years Eve, in an e-mail sent out to supporters....

“Today was my last official day as a Commissioner on the Federal Election Commission,” he wrote. “The Senate officially adjourned today without acting on my nomination… I wanted to thank everyone for their support over the past two years while I was going through this confirmation battle. All of the telephone calls, emails and notes I received from people were great encouragement for me.”

Von Spakovsky attached an endorsement by the Wall Street Journal, though he added that “it did not help in the end in convincing the Democrats to vote to confirm me.”

I'll guess he'll just have to intimidate federal employees and work to disenfranchise minorities from outside the government now. .....

1. I hope he doesn't let the door hit him in the ass on the way out...

Nothing worse than nasty thug assprints on one of We The People's doors!

3. The WSJ editorial was a nice touch, truly going out without style.

2. Is he really gone or does he have an office down the hall?

4. More like the rug was pulled from under him

He sure didn't voluntarily give up. The clock ran out.
