Cookie Crumbs

Did Cookie Krongard know about brother Buzzy and Blackwater? Will Cookie crumble? Will Henry Waxman wax philosophical? Tune in to Congress's "As the Stomach Turns"



Since this time, Buzzy Krongard has quit Blackwater's advisory board, but will State Department Inspector General Howard "Cookie" Krongard rescind his recusal from Blackwater investigations?

TPM writes: "I'd like to be able to answer that question, but unfortunately it'll take a little while. During the pre-Thanksgiving rush to leave town, the Office of the Inspector General's press operation is in the hands of Terry Heide, who normally handles congressional affairs for the OIG. When I called Heide and posed the question, she replied, "The OIG has no further comments on anything related to Mr. Krongard's situation." Attempts at a follow-up were repelled by an instruction that there was "no need to call us back, because we have no comment." Click."
