The CEO of one of the most powerful conservative think tanks in the country has been ousted from his position after a series of revelations concerning a romance with a subordinate that went badly wrong.
According to Dallas D Magazine, John Goodman of the Dallas-based National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) was ousted by the groups board of directors in June for sexual misconduct and breach of fiduciary duty.
Goodman, 68, founded the center more than 31 years ago and has long served as its president and CEO. He has advised Republican politicians like former President George W. Bush as well as former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA). Goodman is known to many as the father of health savings accounts, an anti-Obamacare proposal that the GOP floated as a possible alternative to the current health care system.
Now, the think tanks board has shrunken from more than a dozen directors to five with the organizations future uncertain.

No term derogatory enough for this asshole.
