GOP Cocksucker #6
ALPHONSO JACKSON
FORMER SECRETARY OF HUD

That GOP Cocksuckers are practiioners of cronyism is no suprise. Democrats have a record of doing it do but GOP Cocksuckers raise it to an art form. You will find numerous examples of it on this blog. The most recent being GOP Cocksucker #307 (SEN. JOHN ENSIGN), who hired his mistress' kid on his staff.

But it wasn't just cronyism that got Jackson in trouble. He also had the Drunken Frat Boy habit of politicizing everything. They did it with the department of Justice and they did it with the Department of HUD, too. Here's an example of how Jackson ran the department in his own words:
"Why should I reward someone who doesn't like the president, so they can use funds to try to campaign against the president? Logic says they don't get the contract. That's the way I believe."

In other words, 'you better like the president. If you don't, then pretend you do.'

This wasn't the only problem with Jackson's behavior. Jackson was accused of witholding funds for political reasons and allegedly getting below-rate loans from the infamous Countrywide Financial. Neither of those allegations got Jackson in trouble. What DID get him into trouble was refusing to answer questions from two congressional committees--the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, and the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development--about one of those matters and allegations that he steered a federal contract to a golfing buddy in South Carolina.

Jackson said he was quitting to spend more time with his family but the real reason he was giving up was because the constant criticdism over his behavior was wearing him down.
