After Resigning in a Cloud of Scandal

Listen to this Story

When most of us quit a job, or even get fired, it's a fairly private matter. We pack up, sleep late the next day and maybe even hide in a dark bar. But for the likes of D. Kyle Sampson and Francis Harvey, two Bush Administration officials who resigned under separate scandals recently, there's no hiding. Weekend America Reporter Sean Cole talked with someone who might be the best person to give advice. Former Reagan National Security Advisor Richard Allen was forced to resign in 1982, even though he'd been cleared of the charges. He'll talk tips and techniques for those quitting under a cloud of shame. Also we'll hear from one man who gave former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld a piece of his mind when running into him on the ski slope.
