Top Republicans On The House And Senate Veterans Affairs Committees Want A Scalp

They're calling on VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to fire his chief of staff. John Gingrich signed off on the budget for two training conferences last year that cost VA $6 million. The VA inspector general found about $800,000 of that was wasted. That included promotional items and a video mimicking a movie about Gen.George Patton. Gingrich has accepted responsibility for the conference and admits he should have looked more closely at the details. Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, said firing Gingrich would send the right message.
