McCourt Goes To Hall

... in a handbasket or other convenient vessel, so as to reacquire his services and ensure Jamie McCourt never, ever speaks to the press again. Timeline on this one, folks:

Saturday 3/13: Hall resigns.
Monday 3/15: Jamie interviewed. Doesn't go so well.
Tuesday 3/16: Frank asks Hall to reconsider.

As Dorothy observed, people come and go so quickly around here! Meantime, David Walkley, vice president of human resources has tendered his resignation, because "because his job duties had changed." I've gotta give Walkley credit for the creativity involved in the reason for his walk letter -- at least he didn't cite "philosophical differences". At this rate, it'll be Frank on the mound, taking the tickets, and selling the popcorn. I tell you, folks, I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried!

Finally, by way of answering Richard's question as to whether I should give McCourt a chance -- why, yes, I have, and he has blown it, repeatedly. The prosecution offers exhibit A.

Update: Terry's got a far more readable commentary about this on his website.
