"A chief of staff under former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt was arrested after he allegedly brandished a gun at another driver on Interstate 15 over the weekend, authorities said.
Bob Gross, 54, of Centerville, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on suspicion of using a weapon in a fight or threat, a class A misdemeanor, on Saturday, jail records show. He was released the following day.

He was most recently tapped by the Bush administration to advise Paul Bremer in an effort to rebuild Iraq and reduce the country's staggering unemployment rate.
His four-month stint in Baghdad ended in early June, shortly before the United States handed the country over to an interim Iraq government."

I worked for this guy for years, he has a real hair trigger (no pun intended) and a nasty temper. When he returned from Iraq (two months early) there was an article in the paper saying he solved Iraq's unemployment problem. (oh, did I mention he's a liar and a self promoter?) Iraq currently has a 70% unemployment rate.

Very. But mostly an opportunist. If there was a Dem gov and prez, he'd be a Dem. He has no political commitments. He just wants to be rich and famous and play golf all the time.

lots to be said for being a professional turncoat.
