Richard Clarke's Decorum Problem

Wonkette (DC gossip)  

The White House has just released the letter Richard Clarke wrote to President Bush upon his resignation from the administration...

...We can imagine, for instance, the first draft of Clarke's resignation letter:

I will always remember the courage, determination, leadership and out-of-control bloodlust you demonstrated on September 11th, first on the video link from STRATCOM and later that day in the PEOC and the Situation Room, when you accosted me and humiliated me. I sort of got off on that.

Clarke may be a hypocrite, but who doesn't kiss a little ass on the way out the door?...
Except that Clarke is saying that he was morally outraged at the misconduct of the Bush administration. If he felt so strongly (which he clearly does) why didn't he tell off somebody.
