    What Would You do?

    Gloat Gloat - But why?

    Apparently someone gets caught doing a very stupid thing - illegal? maybe. Immoral - quite possibily. And then the boss summarily cans his ass. If the man did something illegal - then prosecute him. If he did something immoral - then good riddence. (and leave by resignation to save face)

    Lets face it - if Bush had kept him on after finding out the alleged behavior - would you make more noise? When you find a rotten apple - you throw it away. What else do you do?
