Just When I Thought I Was Out, They Pull Me Back In!

By Bess Levin

David Moffett, who resigned as chief executive officer of Freddie Mac in March, will temporarily return to the company as a consultant on financial management.
Mr. Moffett will help Freddie’s acting Chief Executive Officer John Koskinen oversee the government-backed mortgage company’s finances, filling a gap left by the death Wednesday of acting CFO David Kellermann.

    If I were Moffett, I wouldn’t sign a single document or issue one declarative statement during my new stint at the Incredible Collapsing Housing Agency.
    Nothing but shrugs, winks, nods, mumbles, and the occasional “dunno.”

    Career guideline number one: never take a job where the previous guy off’ed himself.

    “A New York City middle school teacher has barricaded himself in a classroom and the NYPD bomb squad is on the scene.
    Officials say there is no indication that an explosive device is at the school. Hundreds of students in the Bronx building have been evacuated and are going to other schools in the area for the rest of the day.”
