Breaking now on CNN... hmmmm, second thoughts about Tony Raimondo, once they found out about his manufacturing plants in communist China, as well as laying off 17% of his own work force?
Kind of ironic, too, that the story broke while Lou Dobbs was still on the air, rolling his eyes. Honestly, I think Lou finds the entire affair
delicious.Chalk up another victory for John Kerry, folks!!!
Linky:Bush Administration Candidate Withdraws from Manufacturing Post - SFGateExcerpt:
A Nebraska business executive withdrew from consideration to be President Bush's point man on manufacturing Thursday after Sen. John Kerry raised questions about his stance on shifting U.S. jobs to foreign countries.
The Bush administration said Anthony Raimondo's withdrawal was related to Nebraska political issues and not the flap raised by the Kerry campaign.
Raimondo's nomination had appeared in doubt since Kerry raised questions Wednesday. Commerce Secretary Don Evans had refused to answer questions about whether Raimondo, the chief executive of Behlen Manufacturing Co., in Columbus, Neb., was still being considered for the position, saying only that the administration was "continuing to look at candidates."
"It's not so important when we make the announcement. It's who it is," Evans said in an interview on CNBC.
Bwaaaaaa-ha,ha,ha,ha, Don Evans! Hey,
nice hire! Who's running your background check department, anyhow?
