It's not quite clear why conservative talk show host Joyce Kaufman resigned from her position as chief of staff to newly elected Rep. Allen West (R-FL) before she even began the job. But for those looking for a reason, there are plenty to be found.

Hours after that story broke, Kaufman was linked to a mass lockdown of schools in Florida, after an unidentified individual sent Kaufman's radio station a vague threat to blow up schools. That prompted some to wonder whether Kaufman had inspired the would-be bomber.
Now the Associated Press reports that Kaufman is blaming her "big mouth" for losing the position as chief of staff to Rep. West.
