cpmmoe – If you didn’t think the wife joke was funny, you’ve probably never been married.

No, this is not "government as usual", it's merely the Bush government as usual. -- bi, International Journal of Inactivism

Just government as usual. If you’re surprised by this kind of behavior from gov’t employees, don’t be. This is how they “secure our liberties” and “protect our rights”.

Do we know if the head of R-I-K was a career civil servant or a Bush appointee?
This is way over the top for most federal employees. At least it was when I was working for U.S. Fortunately I didn’t have to serve under Bush.

Call me humorless but the crack about the ex-wife didn’t strike me as funny.

Let’s see if this gets as much mention on the news as “Lipstick-Gate” (which has already been covered more than Fannie Mae).

“Guess, the IG never had sex with my ex-wife. Rimshot [technically, a sting].”

So … I’m going to go WAY out on a limb here and suppose that this was not the most notably amicable dissolution on record? (Off topic, but you started it.)
