Felipe Sixto, Yet Another Bush Official Resigns In Scandal

Add another to the list.

An aide to President Bush has resigned because of his alleged misuse of grant money from the U.S. Agency for International Development when he worked for a Cuban democracy organization.

Felipe Sixto was promoted on March 1 as a special assistant to the president for intergovernmental affairs and stepped forward on March 20 to reveal his alleged wrongdoing and to resign, White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said Friday. He said Sixto took that step after learning that his former employer, the Center for a Free Cuba, was prepared to bring legal action against him.

Stanzel said the alleged wrongdoing involved the misuse of money when Sixto was an official at the center.

    Man, how do you get to be just another corrupt Bush tool when you go through life with a name as awesome as Felipe Sixto?

    Here’s hoping that he lands on his feet in a job more suitable to his dynamic moniker. Like stage magician, or infamous, slippery jewel thief.

    That must have been quite a misuse to single him out from all the other misuse going on in Bush’s administration. Did he let some of the money go to Democrats?

    Was this all to cover Alfonso resigning from HUD this week under a cloud of suspicion to spend more time with the family?

    Because I haven’t heard very much about it at all.
