Cookie and Buzzy
| Tweet |
Remember the cozy little Blackwater-Krongard picture we drew for you a month or so ago? Well, it just got cozier. Today, Chairman Henry Waxman, of the House Oversight and Government Reform committee, revealed that State Department Inspector General Howard "Cookie" Krongard's brother, A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard, sits on Blackwater's advisory board. Cookie's outfit, the State Department OIG, is involved in investigating Blackwater. Initially he denied that his brother was on the board, but after calling him, Cookie discovered that Waxman's charge was, in fact, true. E-M-B-A-R-R-A-S-S-I-N-G. He then said he would recuse himself from all Blackwater matters in his office.
UPDATE: Spencer Ackerman at TPM Muckraker caught a big one.
