Colin Powell resigns?  why is everyone quitting?

[ratioci nation]

it always happens at the start of a 2nd term

The pay is better... gotta go out a grab all those speaking, consultant, and boardroom fees.  not to mention write those books and crappy songs.
 
 Apparently, it standard for cabinet members to jumpship during the second term.  In the past nobody outside of Washington cared.  It's only newsworthy this time because of what Ashcroft,etc spewed out during their time in office.  Ain't it great that the new new Attorney General thinks the Geneva Convention is outdated.

Was that a surprise for people? He's been saying that he didn't intend to serve a second term for quite some time.

Yes, but then of course, I'm not part of the Bush Administration.   :p

From CNN:
 
 U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has submitted his resignation to President Bush, the White House said today. In addition to Powell, sources said the White House today also will announce the resignations of Education Secretary Rod Paige, Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham and Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman.

good ol spence abraham.  i'll always remember the onion article about him when he was nominated for secretary of energy:
 
 New Energy Secretary Guesses He Ought To Read Up On Energy
 WASHINGTON, DC-- Spencer Abraham, the newly installed U.S. Energy
 Secretary, admitted Monday that he probably ought to read up on energy. "I
 know energy is really important, and that there was a big crisis back in
 the '70s, but other than that, I'm in the dark," Abraham said. "I was
 hoping to be appointed Secretary of Transportation, which I know a lot more
 about, but that one was already taken." The former Michigan senator said he
 plans to go to the library Thursday to look up "Energy" in The World Book
 Encyclopedia.

W is probably asking them to quit so he can get a new crew...

bush prefers one that won't talk back to him...so now he gets one that calls him "massa"

It may be more of a case of 'follow the money', as they say.

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

heh... remember how the RepubliKKKans used to froth at the mouth with righteous indignation at Clinton's fundraising shenanigans?  What a bunch of hypocrites.
