Angelo Persichilli, the Toronto-based journalist who was named communications director for Prime Minister Stephen Harper last September, has resigned after seven months on the job.

In an interview with The Globe and Mail, the 63-year-old says he was simply overwhelmed by the stress and pressure of the job and is stepping down on orders from his doctor.

... Mr. Persichilli took over the post after Dimitri Soudas departed last summer. He was the 11th person to serve as Mr. Harper’s senior communications aide since 2002, and the sixth person to act as his director of communications since Mr. Harper became Prime Minister.

While he realizes his quick departure might trigger the political rumour mill, Mr. Persichilli insists his decision is simply a health issue. He speaks positively of his brief time working closely with the Prime Minister.

1. Yep, lying all the time does take a toll....

and being the communication director of the "Harper Government" necessitates nothing but lies 24/7, lies about lies and the cover-up of the lies.
