Ding dong, the witch is dead!
Duncan is reporting that CNN says Gale Norton is outta here!
Can anyone but wonder what Abramoff has had to say about their relationship and it's impact on this momentous decision?
Heh!
I was having writers block recently regarding the Trust Fund/Norton/Griles/Abramoff fiasco, but no more.

Update: Here's the CNN story.
And expect a Griles indictment any day now!
Update2: So far, only one media outlet has connected indictment-watchees Griles and Federici to Norton, NBC4I in Columbus, Ohio. The final paragraphs of their Norton story:
The leading Republican and Democrat on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee have said that e-mails uncovered by the committee show that Steven Griles, Norton's former deputy, had a close relationship with Abramoff.Another onetime Norton associate, Italia Federici, helped Abramoff gain access to Griles in exchange for contributions from Abramoff's Indian tribe clients, Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., the committee chairman, and Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., have said.
(whoa, by the time I'd cut, pasted and published this update, 70 other news outlets had it as well.)
Comments
Isn't that amazing? I remember when I stumbled across Nixzmary Brown's fate early one morning, reading my daily round of news. I was so moved to write on it, and when I searched to find more reference, there were only like four pages or so. After a day, there were pages and pages and pages on Google.
It's actually very encouraging to see how involved so many citizens can be now, so easily.
Now if only our voting machines worked, we might have a voice in the shape of the government....

She quit out of embarassment, because she failed to bring that big Ivory Bill Woodpecker to justice. Remember Norton's promise in '04:
"To paraphrase President Bush, the Ivory Bill can fly but it can't hide!"
