The Passion of the Plumber III: Resignation

Helen Jones-Kelley, an Ohio state agency official who authorized an inquest into Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher, has resigned
But she didn't just admit her wrongdoing. Instead, she's playing the victim card:

Department of Job and Family Services Director Helen Jones-Kelley said in a statement accompanying her resignation that she won't allow her reputation to be disparaged and that she is concerned for her family's safety.
Whatever. Just don't let that door hit you where the Good Lord split you. And let this be a warning to anyone else who thinks it's OK to use the heavy hand of the State against a mere citizen with the temerity to question His Majesty.

    From Rahm-to-Helen...

    It's all fun-n-games as long as it's one of the "little people" receiving anonymous death-threats.

    Let them start to feel some heat, though - then it's time to cry 'foul'.

We reserve the right to delete comments, but the failure to delete any particular comment should not be interpreted as an endorsement thereof.

In general, we expect comments to be relevant to the story, or to a prior comment that is relevant; and we expect some minimal level of civility. Defining that line is inherently subjective, so try to stay clear of insulting remarks. If you respond to a comment that is later deleted, we may take your response with it. Deleting your comment isn't a personal knock on you, so don't take it as such.

We allow a variety of ways for commenters to identify themselves; those who choose not to do so should take extra care. Absent any prior context in which they may be understood, ironic comments may be misinterpreted. Once you've earned a reputation for contributing to a conversation, we are likely to be more tolerant in those gray areas, as we'll understand where you're coming from.
