Is 'A.J.' Doing a Heckuva Job at HUD?

HUD Secretary Alphonso "I Just Made Up That Story About Denying Contracts Based on Political Affiliation" Jackson better watch his back. Remember how it was all downhill for FEMA chief Michael Brown after President Bush toured the hurricane-ravaged Gulf region and praised the job "Brownie" was doing? Well, Bush busted out Jackson's nickname yesterday at a White House ceremony honoring the 2005 WNBA champion Sacramento Monarchs:

I want to thank my Cabinet Secretary, Alphonso Jackson. Welcome, A.J., thanks for coming. I knew you were a sports fan, and I knew you appreciated excellence on the court, so I'm not surprised you're here.
