Well, he has been saying it wasn't the census, but I'm not sure I believe him. That was a real humiliation.
After all, commerce has only two things to be said for it. One is it runs the census, which is one of the few jobs the constitution gives the government. The constitution is all about the stuff that the Congress ought not, should not, or shall not do.
And the other nifty thing about that commerce is that it has aquarium in the headquarters in Washington. Once they took away the census, he was going to end up feeding fish in the aquarium.
It was a complete embarrassment and a humiliation, and I'm sure that was the main issue.
And, of course, on the stimulus, he is a budget hawk. And here he is teaming up with an administration with a stimulus that has spending completely out of control.
What I don't understand is how Judd Gregg could have imagined that he could be a member of that team knowing what the Obama agenda was going to be. It isn't as if the stimulus was a secret at the time he took the job.
Gregg also would have been chief weather forecaster, since the National Weather Service is the biggest part of the Commerce budget. I guess that wasn't enough.
