GET THE LEAD OUT
Enough With Harvey Pitt Already

Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Harvey Pitt submitted his resignation, under cover of darkness, more than two months ago.

And yet, there he sits, in all his sliminess, still on the commission, still casting votes, and, presumably, still influencing the agenda.

Can the Bush administration not find someone -- anyone -- from the previous Bush administration, or the Ford administration, or the Nixon administration, to take his place?

I think Carla Hills is still living.

Addendum

William H. Donaldson has been named Pitt’s successor by the Bush administration but he has not yet been nominated. What’s going on?
