Why is Andy leaving?

By STERNBERGER April 15, 2010

According to Google there are 679 news articles about Andy Stern's resignation. Tasty, for one, is ALMOST sick of talking about it--but there remains one big question: why now?

There are a lot of rumors that Tasty has heard--among them: new jobs, presidential appointments, general desire to screw around with his $19,000/mnth pension, DOL probes regarding the SoCal shenanigans with Alejandro Stephens..and then there is Andy's old friend, Mr. Celebrity Apprentice Rod "the hair" .

Could this be what caused Andy's hasty exit stage right?

It turns out that yesterday (April 14), a federal judge released a 91-page "evidentiary proffer" that lays out "the path federal prosecutors plan to take at [former Illinois Governor Rod] Blagojevich's scheduled June trial on corruption charges," according to the Chicago Tribune. The proffer gives new details about Blago's secretly recorded phone calls and other evidence collected by prosecutors, including... you guessed it: Blago's effort to cut a deal with SEIU officials to sell Obama's Senate seat.
