TIM CAVANAUGH: Steven Chu’s Not The Solyndra Fall Guy.

So the actual news here boils down to: Steven Chu still has not said anything about Solyndra.

The head of a cabinet-level department is too high-ranking to be a “fall guy” anyway. He may get in trouble for decisions he makes, and his boss the president may get in trouble too, but he is not a fall guy; he is the person in charge of the department. Nothing about Chu’s responsibility for the Solyndra loan has changed in the last 48 hours – but you’d have a better understanding of that fact if you had not been looking at the news than if you had. So maybe it’s a good thing that most Americans are paying no attention to Solyndra coverage.
