Makes You Want To "CUSS"...



Recognize any of this from a recent piece by Carl Cannon (10/5/2014) in RealClearPolitics.com?


Some quotes, excerpts and direct hits:

"Two directors have retired within the last 18 months. It's a good start."
"Vaunted Reputation?"


"The vaunted reputation of the agency has always been better than its track record.  The agency knew it, too, but this image of competence was cultivated partly as a deterrent. After September 11, 2001, things changed because edifices and agencies that symbolically projected American power were themselves possible targets..."


"Culture of
Intimidation?"
"Members of Congress were only asking questions because they'd read about it in the Post.  The most conservative Republicans and the most liberal Democrats were equally incensed. Maryland Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings homed in on a "culture of intimidation" in which agency management rewards those who foster the agency's "invincible" myth, while punishing those who point out security lapses." 


"Can't take a hint?"
"But fixing the agency is going to take Congressional action, a change of culture at the agency, and a new attitude within the White House itself."

"It's time for a remake."



"Weak track record, culture of intimidation, needs Congressional fix...."



Sound familiar?  Could NCUA be...


.... the other "Secret Service"???

(... probably not; their leadership took responsibility and resigned when her staff "made a mess" !!)
