"After 23 years at CNN, I have decided to resign in an effort to prevent CNN from being unfairly tarnished by the controversy over conflicting accounts of my recent remarks regarding the alarming number of journalists killed in Iraq," he said in a note to CNN staff.

Well said, Dog. There are others giving alot more. I hope, I think, we are up to it. Our "reclusive" head dude is.
That's the best looking captain I've ever seen.
Little Grren Footballs notes that another lefty nutball has resigned, the one who invited Ward Churchill to speak and who runs some crappy "Kirkland Project for the Study of Gender, Society and Culture at Hamilton College" (unscholarly crap):
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=14673_Night_of_the_Resignations&only=yes
ancy Rabinowitz, director of the Kirkland Project for the Study of Gender, Society and Culture at Hamilton College, who invited Ward “Little Eichmanns” Churchill to speak and ignited a media firestorm, is resigning. (Hat tip: mommydoc.)
CLINTON, N.Y. - The head of a gender studies program at Hamilton College has resigned after igniting a furor by inviting to the campus a professor who likened the Sept. 11 victims to Nazis.
Nancy Rabinowitz said she was stepping down “under duress” as director of the Kirkland Project for the Study of Gender, Society and Culture. She will continue to teach comparative literature.
Rabinowitz resigned in a telephone call Thursday to the college’s president.
On Feb. 3, she extended a speaking invitation to University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill, who in an essay written shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks compared the World Trade Center victims to “little Eichmanns,” a reference to the Nazi bureaucrat Adolf Eichmann.
His appearance was ultimately canceled by the school because of death threats against college officials and Churchill.
Rabinowitz also drew fire in November when the program she headed offered a temporary teaching position to 1960s radical Susan Rosenberg. Rosenberg was indicted but never tried in a 1981 armored car robbery that left a guard and two police officers dead. She was sentenced for 58 years in prison for weapons possession, but President Clinton granted her clemency in 2001 after she served 16 years.
Rabinowitz has been the project’s only director since its founding in 1996.

So all in all it's a lovely evening.
Do we get the ears and the tail?
So, to all who post, PLEASE be careful about releasing personal information! The leftists want to destroy us personally, not merely politically. Keep this in mind.
However, given my beliefs about the leftists, I will still continue to post here, and will continue to investigate all of the people who are anti-American.
Hey that is a biggie..
Depends on if Brit Hume quits.
THEN she'd be all about that.
It is 7:20 p.m. CST and I see nothing on this on CNN's web site. I'm stunned.
Should be "under scrutiny".
Not only does CNN totally SUCK, so his "23 years" must add up to a complete WASTE, but this fools pants are cinders from all these lies in his official statement.
LIARLIARLIARLIARLIARLIARLIARLIARLIARLIARLIARLIARLIAR!!!!!
Gannon would appear to be a casualty, but I'm not giving up on him just yet.
I'm tired of the monopolies. The MSM helped bring down one war, they aren't going to take down another.
Frank Lautenberg is always getting up on the Senate floor and complaining about Bush's lack of respect for the military---
He was also the one, I think, that has demanded an explanation for Jeff Gannon---
What do you think the chances are that he will stand up on the Senate floor demanding an explanation from CNN about Jordan?
We SO rule. :)
And at 8:20 EST...Paula Zahn on CNN is highlighting the career of Alicia Keys.....LOL!
I read it again and it turns out she's still teaching at that school. But it's not as if Hamilton College ever had much influence anyway.
Fond of you as I am, I am asking that you not hold your breath.
I'll be damned----they are dropping like flies.
Thanks for that post----I'll have a silly grin on my face all night.
**********************************************
Eason Jordan has officially resigned as executive vice president and chief news executive of CNN. The Staff of Easongate.com is pleased with Mr. Jordan taking responsibility for his actions and statements. However we still feel the World Economic Forum should release the tape of the Davos conference forthwith to settle this matter. A cloud will hang over this issue until the tape is viewed to confirm what has been reported in this affair.
The purpose of this blog from the very beginning was as follows:
· Act as a clearinghouse for information related to Mr. Jordan's recent and past statement concerning the United States military.
· Provide analysis and commentary on the developing situation.
· Advocate CNN to take real and meaningful disciplinary action against Mr. Jordan.
· Create a petition expressing the public's displeasure with Mr. Jordan's statements.
· Gather information on CNN's advertisers and make this information available to the public.
Easongate.com has achieved every single goal on this list. The CNN advertiser database and email program was prepared to go online this evening. Every person on this site worked professionally, skill and devotion and covered every angle of developments.
However we are still not fully satisfied with the outcome. The tape should be released for public review, and Mr. Jordan should apologize for his remarks.
To every reader, commentor, emailer and blogger that committed to this cause, thank you. This is a victory for every soilder who has honorably served this nation. To you we devote this victory.
