Yesterday, the Bush administration offered up a sacrificial lamb to the gods of public perception with the resignation of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson. However, it looks like the priests of public opinion in the old media have not taken the bait. Clearly, some blame rests with the crony that was ostensibly responsible for the housing sector. The real fiasco for this secretary was in its Katrina response that was just as bad as the rest of this administration. Like most resignations of Bush appointees the best question to ask is, "Why now? Why not two years ago?"
