Jacqui Smith is the disgraced former British Home Secretary who released the now famous list of “terrorists” who were to be banned from Great Britain. For some still undetermined reason, American radio talk show host Michael Savage was on that list.

Smith was forced to resign over this and other fiascos that occurred under her watch.

The same day that her replacement as British Home Secretary buried (but not scrapped) her terrorist list, Smith admitted that she had been in over her head. Way over her head.

“When I became home secretary I’d never run a major organization,” she said in an interview. “I hope I did a good job but if I did it was more by luck than by any kind of development of skills. I think we should have been better trained. I think there should have been more induction.”

What kind of crazy country would put someone in charge who has never had any experience running a large organization?

Sure glad that sort of thing could never happen in the United States.

Monday: UK Home Secretary Jacqui Smith says she’ll fight Michael Savage’s libel claim. Tuesday: Smith resigns

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNeZZJihtDs In the words of the old Dinah Washington song, “What a difference a day makes, 24 little hours.”

On Monday, British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith announced that she would fight a defamation suit brought by American talk show host Michael Savage after he was barred from entering the UK.

On Tuesday, Smith submitted her resignation to unpopular Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Savage was “outraged” when Smith lumped him together on the list with a Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, a skinhead gang leader and a Hezbollah militant who spent 30 years in prison.

Savage, was reportedly asking for as much as $150,000 in damages and an apology.

British observers believe the Savage issue may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back for Smith.

Great Britain is currently embroiled in a scandal over Members of Parliament submitting fraudulent expense reports for personal items. Smith was caught up in the controversy when she submitted an expense report that included the costs of her husband’s porn purchases.

Whether you like Savage or not, you have to admit that he’s never been a danger to anyone. Except, perhaps, Smith and her career.
