Oh and BTW -
Sherrod, who until Tuesday was USDA's director of rural development in Georgia, said she was on the road Monday when USDA deputy undersecretary Cheryl Cook called her and told her the White House wanted her to resign.
"They called me twice," Sherrod told The Associated Press in an interview. "The last time they asked me to pull over the side of the road and submit my resignation on my Blackberry, and that's what I did."
A USDA spokesman would not comment on whether the White House was involved, but Vilsack issued a statement saying the agency has no tolerance for discrimination.
