Greta "The Thumbscrew" Twombly has resigned her post as President Aswani's Chief of Staff. She claims that Aswani has "lost [her] friendship and respect." Whew.

Senator Dobson posted her resignation letter here. It has the tone of a jilted lover's lament, actually. Very touching:

I began this year with such hope with such a wonderful team assembled and a leader who I had the utmost faith in. I never thought failure would be an option. I have no idea what happened between then and now, but I do know one thing that changed, and that is Vishal. He is not the person whose campaign I ran nearly one year ago. He is not the friend who I sacrificed so much for and who I put a great deal of time and dedication into. I do not know why or how he changed, but he did. He has lost my friendship and my respect.

My take: this is just more flesh falling from the corpse of an administration that has been sloughing off personnel and credibility for some time. We can only hope that, in the next couple of months, Aswani will take the time to address the concerns of Twombly and her predecessors-in-resignation.

An excessive focus on the internal politics of the S.A. keeps it from doing its job. I don't mean to imply that Twombly's complaints aren't legitimate--just that it's best to focus on how to move forward in the wake of her resignation rather than spending the next few months pissing on Aswani.

P.S. - I will miss inventing creative, violent nicknames for Greta "The Crusher" Twombly. It was all in jest, really. To make one retraction, I apologize for believing that she alone was responsible for the foolish, threatening e-mail sent to S.A. officials last semester.
