This is an entirely earnest question: why is a member of the White House communications team attacking the Special Inspector General of the TARP for doing his job? The post doesn’t do a very good job of explaining the underlying issues; it uses the kind of contemptuous language you’d expect from a Xanga or LiveJournal flame-war in lieu of careful, good-faith analysis.

My disagreements with the White House aside, I have a great deal of respect for many members of the president’s staff, and it is entirely possible that I’m missing something important. I didn’t like it when the last administration used heavy-handed tactics, and I don’t like it now.
