'Remember the Bush appointee who ran a racehorse operation from his office? The guy who was forced off the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for secretly hiring consultants to hunt for liberal bias in public media programming? Ken Tomlinson, that's the guy.

He's had his fill of this rotten town, it seems. Tomlinson "
asked the White House to withdraw his nomination for another term as chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors," the New York Times reports this morning. No reason was cited; we assume it's so he can spend more time with his horses. Er, family.'
