Rob "MEATHEAD" Reiner RESIGNS!
Complaining of "personal political attacks," Hollywood director Rob Reiner resigned Wednesday from a statewide preschool commission he helped create.
His organization, the California First 5 Commission, has been under scrutiny for its spending practices.
Two weeks ago, Reiner dismissed suggestions he step down from the chairmanship of the commission, which has collected nearly $4 billion in tobacco taxes to fund early childhood programs. "Everything I've done is completely legal," he said.
Obese Wonder: Rob "Meathead" Reiner
Eric Cartman: "I just love Rob Reiner. He just goes around imposing his will on other people. He's so Awesome!"
Don't you feel sorry for him? BUT WAIT....THERE'S MORE:
Legislators from both political parties said Reiner, an outspoken Democrat, improperly spent $23 million of commission funds...
As recently as two weeks ago, the director of the film "When Harry Met Sally", said he would not leave the job.
You know what I think? I think he embezzled the money and used it to buy hamburgers, ice cream, Godiva candies, foie gras, and pies. Lots and lots of pies. And cake. Lots and lots of cakes.
In the words of Archie Bunker, "Stifle yourself 'dere, Meathead!"
