I call "bullshit" on the severance package note. I don't offer severance to employees unless I actually want them to leave. If Koman did indeed offer a package, it was because she wanted them gone.

This is her way of signaling (dog whistling?) that she was pushed out.

Ah - I see there is to be a press conference. A severance agreement would include a "shut up" clause, so I guess this explains her decision to turn down the cash.

I wonder if Romney needs a Vice President? I see big things for Karen's future!

she came on board?

good. If she really had Komen's mission at heart, she would have fallen on her sword, taken full responsibility and exited quietly. She has implied that the Board made the decision or at least blessed it...she's griped about politics when that's exactly what she's all about...we'll see if she makes the rounds of the talk shows.

I think she intended to hurt them and if what she is saying is true, the decision already being made, then I think she is right in letting the public know this. I'd be damn pissed if someone tried to make me a scapegoat. You could almost surmise they hired her specifically for that role. Make the decision before bringing her on, roll out that decision and when that decision goes sideways, blame it on the outspoken anti-choice/anti-PP new hire.

Works for me.

I'm glad she isn't going to be making money off of the generous donors who ran in the past, and gave in the past.

Exactly! +1000

A martyr to a dying cause.

She'll be on Fux Noise constantly now.

The more we remind the world of what she and Komen are, the better.

the martyr grifter line is pretty deep in the GOP.

That was awesome. I don't have to two nickles to rub together so, this little heart means these little hearts mean a great deal to me.

EDIT ADD: Aww. You guyz!

cutting off funding to Planned Parenthood need to follow suit, imo. A clean sweep is the only action that might save the charity.

Brinker's not going to quit the charity she founded on behalf of her sister. Waaaaaaaaay too much emotional involvement for that.

If she doesn't leave, they may as well shut the doors now anyway.

She's been exposed as a right-winger, and she won't get another cent from me.

Komen CEO, 2/2: "Karen didnt have anything to do w/this" Karen Handel 2/7: "I openly acknowledge my role in the matter" http://t.co/ZTvaB6yA
55 minutes

Brinker's credibility is toast.

It's her foundation! How dare people suggest she step down!

Result will be the destruction of the "charity", but I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

...

The withdrawal of funding for stem-cell research is also a right-wing political decision and they need to correct that decision as well. I don't think they will in hopes that the issue will be forgotten, I hope they are wrong about that.

Seeya Ms. Handel.

very bad rubbish.

Repukes = EPIC FAIL.

The last refuge of the GOP is women's uterus ...here they plant their flag and here they shall die.....they give new meaning to "get your head out of it".

because now that the curtain has been pulled back and Komen revealed, many -- myself included -- will never race or donate again... EVER!

Everyone involved in the PP decision needs to be out the door.

the jackals nipping at her heels.

because she is Susan G. Komen's sister.

highest levels of the charity." I don't doubt that Karen but that is probably why you were hired in the first place. And now that your project has run aground you are gone. Good bye.

I wonder what job Brinker got her at what think tank?

Where will the poison spread next?

They showed their ass. They may not be able to recover from this.

GOOD!!!

It's a fundy, right-wing "charity" that pays it's executive officers WAY TOO MUCH, and doesn't give enough in keeping with their mission statement.

It's just another right-wing company that is based upon lies.

to make a monthly pledge to PP.

good riddance. couldn't have happened to a more deserving piece of crap
