Yet More Joe the Plumber Fallout
As a followup, Helen Jones-Kelly, who was suspended by Ohio governor Ted Strickland (D) but NOT fired, for illegally invading the privacy of one Joe Wurzlbacher, has called it quits. She won't be the last.

I will followup with the mostly overused, but not quite lame, word of 2008.

Columbus Dispatch Daily Briefing
...In a four-paragraph statement, she said, "it is with sadness and clarity that I have decided to resign...This decision comes after having a time of pause, in which I realize that I continue to be used as a political postscript, providing a distraction from urgent state priorities.Ha! Irony. Apparently faking a policy of investigating those who become newsworthy makes one newsworthy yourself. Oops. And apparently she's going to take one for the team. Good for her, but bad for governor Strickland who should have done the right thing with a firing in the first place. It's bad enough that the government keeps records on everyone (and no the record keeping didn't start with Bush) and also note that Obama has been a victim too of this sort of thing.
"My professional career, and the legacy of service I have established, has been, and continues to be, far too important for me to allow my reputation and my commitment as a servant leader to be disparaged. I also remain concerned for the safety of my family and myself."

Joe the non-plumber is a liar and a fraud. Why are you still reporting on this moron?

The public wanted to see her punished for her wrong-doing. The governor actually made her a target when he didn't hand the people her head on a platter. We ... the people ... have a lot of axes to grind, and being spied on by "the man" has always been at the top of the list. Glad to see she was smart enough to take cover and run.

To Mark:
The report is on the resignation of Helen Jones-Kelley ... not Joe the Plumber. Sometimes you have to actually read the article to know what it says.
