Peter Quinn Resigns

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the the-limelight-is-far-too-hot dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Andy Updegrove is reporting on his blog that Peter Quinn, CIO of Massachusetts and focus of the recent media feeding frenzy, has decided to step down. Quinn stressed that his departure does not signal any major changes in policy nor was he forced to resign. He did say that a large part of the decision was made by the Boston Globe's unfounded (and quickly disproven) charges."

    What is with you people? We understand that OS News exists. Yes, Digg is around as well. We also know the news here is usually somewhat dated (or maybe just timed). We *obviously* don't care.

    So please, STFU.

    Seriously, just STFU. Your little lecture was so transparent that it's obvious that you're just a liberal douchebag who's upset because he didn't support the guy who won.

    Citing Media Matters, SourceWatch, and Jon Stewart as credible sources? You managed that with a straight face?

    However, you're not as big of a douchebag as John Kerry, who did in fact lie his ass off about his service, after stabbing the people he served with in the back. Christmas in Cambodia, anyone?
