For the second time in three weeks, Michelle Malkin devotes her syndicated column to the Obama administration's war on inspectors general:

Watchdogs are an endangered species in the Age of Obama. The latest government ombudsman to get the muzzle: Amtrak inspector general Fred Weiderhold. The longtime veteran employee was abruptly "retired" last month -just as the government-subsidized rail service faces mounting complaints about its meddling in financial audits and probes.
Question the timing? Hell, yes. . . .

Read the whole thing. Stay tuned, folks. Both the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post have also reported on this story in the past two days. Like I said two weeks ago, this little scandal isn't going away any time soon.

In time all Inspectors General will be replaced by the ACORN brownshirts, financed by the $9 billion in the Obama's "stimulus" bill; and then just wait for their 2010 census "work"!
