Shady's back

There was no blogging yesterday because I couldn't find any stories to blog about. I was told there was a story about the effort to protect Keith Hall's email, but I couldn't find it. Today, the story in the Herald refers to that previous, apparently imaginary story, but this story seems to indicate that the noose is tightening and Larry Forgy may need to keep his trap shut because even he didn't know the extent of this thing.

The administration claims the following exchange refutes the existence of the "hit list," of people they want fired. It seems to me that the person writing the email desperately wants to play with the big kids, but is, in fact, out of the loop. See what you think:

In a Feb. 16 e-mail to Hall, who recently resigned as homeland security director without public explanation, Druen said he was asked by "Murg" about the "hit list" established through Turbyfill's office. "Murg" is an apparent reference to Dick Murgatroyd, Fletcher's deputy chief of staff.

"I told him I didn't have knowledge of a 'hit list,' but would ask Basil," Druen wrote. "He said Basil informed the Sec's of the existence of such a list. I called Basil and he said 'hell no' there's not a list."

No list. Sure.
