Steve Wells of Longmont writes:

Great timing- leaves his post in a lurch only to protect his hide. What happened to leaving only when properly relieved? He’s done nothing in the way of improving the VA, the numbers seeking services escalate, facilities are overwhelmed, short-staffed and lack any formidable leadership from the second largest cabinet position. He’s a lackey for the draft dodgers in the administration and to put it bluntly a complete and total failure in his service to veterans-too bad it did not happen sooner.

Didn't Bush say, "Jimmy, you're doing a heck of a job!"

The man is a disgrace. Good riddance. Our vets deserve the best, not a boot-licker...

VA Secy. Nicholson, "I thank God and Greyhound, you're gone". Nicholson should replace Scooter in a federal prison. Nicholson violated a host of federal funds fraud, waste, and abuse laws. He must have been trained by USAG Gonzo in taechniques to steal federal career civil service jobs and make those jobs criminal illegal GOP political appointments. Nicholson hired Denver VA Hospital director Lynette Roff (Brownie) and in violation of federal law, she has stolen a job the US Congress set-aside exclusively for disabled military veterans. Roff isn't a vet of any sorts. Nicholson didn't stop there. He illegally hired Kathy Malin, Denver VA Customer Service Manager, and like Roff, Malin isn't a vet of any sorts either. Malin has join Nicholson and Roff in shafting disabled veterans. Malin ignores the federal law that requires her to give vets "the benefit of the doubt", in their date of disability claims. Denver Deputy USAG Troy Eid should charge Nicholson, Malin and Roff, with federal charges. Hopefully, he isn't a carbon copy of his boss.
