Huh, I guess that didn’t work out.
This is extremely weird. Gregg is out at Commerce, withdrawing for what he appears to be calling irreconcilable differences on Stimulus and the Census.
Now, the Census is one thing because Census administration is a pretty touchy issue between the parties — largely tied to the Democrats’ wanting to count everyone and the Republicans not. And I could sort of see where maybe this issue got dicey.
But the Stimulus? Didn’t we have a pretty clear idea what was up with the Stimulus before Gregg got the nod?
Late Update: Hearing maybe that this might not be about Census or Stimulus but maybe Gregg not being able to hack the deluge of crap he was getting from what’s left of the New Hampshire GOP.
Later Update: Here’s Gregg’s statement.
Still Later Update: Gregg is like the Bobby Ray Inman of Commerce Secretaries.
