ANOTHER BUSTED APPOINTMENT: CHAS FREEMAN withdraws his name.

UPDATE: More here. It’s also worth noting that, like the John Edwards story, press covering this withdrawal will have to explain all the stuff they didn’t report before.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Heh: “At this pace, Obama’s going to be reduced to filling Administration jobs in front of Home Depot.”

Well, that’s where you go to fill jobs Americans won’t do . . . .

MORE: Chas Freeman Withdraws and … Is There a ‘New Liberal Realism’? “I didn’t expect to find the ‘new liberal realism’ confirmed quite so emphatically as Freeman’s email says.”

STILL MORE: The Chutzpah of Chas Freeman.

Plus, does the White House know how to vet? Freeman Already Under Investigation.
