This breaking news below just in from ABC News. Dr. Chu is in serious trouble. I wonder when the media will start to investigate "Bechtel-gate" and Tom D'Agostino over at the NNSA?:

Wow...how will the Labs prosper without Chu's awesome leadership?
"Breaking news" about a 10-month-old email? Hardly seems like he's in any imminent danger to me.
Dr. Chu will be called to testify in front of a hostile Congress on November 17th.
I doubt Chu will be able to hold his position in DOE much longer. He's become an embarrassment to Obama, who is facing a tough re-election campaign.
Dr. Chu is about to take part of the fall for the Solyndra-gate fiasco and be "thrown under the bus".
Chu is going down with Obama next year so this is academic.
In business school jargon, there is an organization called a turkey-pen. Expensive, unresponsive, and late, unfocused on the changing business environment. Put someone in there and they turn into a turkey.
DOE is a turkey pen. The stumblebum bureaucrats humble the best.
Time to eliminate the -- in the inimitable style of Governor Rick Perry -- "ah, ah, ah, what was that third one........oh, yeh, the DOE".
Its staff is indeed forgetable.
Take the Nuclear weapons complex to a new agency and junk the remainder.
The organization is asked to do far more than it is capable of.

I completely disagree. The problem is that the "organization" has been relegated to a profit organization with the bar (PBIs) so low that it is no longer being challenged. The analogy is the Manhattan Project assigned to perform validation of Newton's Laws using "shoes that grip", management getting bonuses and flashy sports cars for every test or analysis that is performed, and oversight going from one person (General Groves) to several thousand wind-tipped suits (NNSA).
Dwight Eisenhower said on his last day in office, "There is nothing a reporter can say that can hurt me."
Chu may not have sent thousands to their deaths and evaded falling bombs by seconds, but my guess is, he is simply too self-assured to be much affected by the opinions of those posturing before him. For he has learned to control himself.
As we competent few know and the hoi polloi still wonders, "Who is John Barth?"

Only warmed-over pseudo-intellectual hippies care. No one else gives a crap. Chu is out along with Obama.
