Politics - Meet Howard Krongard
The government can be a really tough place to work...
The Wall Street Journal reports:
"Howard Krongard worked his last day at the State Department recently, having learned a hard lesson in the ways of modern Congressional 'oversight.' To wit, if you don't follow Henry Waxman's orders, he'll try to ruin you.
Comfortable after four successful decades in private life, Mr. Krongard thought he'd do a turn in public service by taking a job in 2005 as State's Inspector General, a supposedly 'independent' role. Little did the political rookie realize that Congressional barons like Mr. Waxman think that the IGs work for them."
