I Don’t Talk to My Sister That Often, Either

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Nothing to see here, peopleYesterday, Howard “Cookie” Krongard (no, we didn’t make that nickname up), the Inspector General at State, testified on Capitol Hill about his role in not launching an investigation into Blackwater activities in Iraq. He got all pissy with the Committee when they wanted to know why he was involved since his brother, Alvin “Buzzy” Krongard (no, we didn’t make that nickname up either), was on Blackwater’s advisory board, calling it an “allegation.” But when they took a recess, Cookie called Buzzy and found out that, whoops, he was indeed on the advisory board. In addition to his weird nickname and apparently bad attitude, Cookie now has an additional asshole ripped especially for him by the members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
