Funny, but I see an act of self-sacrifice for the benefit of a colleague and an ideology. Pearle personally has nothing to gain by resigning his position, besides it's not like Bush isn't going to be re-elected in a landslide victory over John "say anything" Kerry.

Although I must admit that I won't shed a tear seeing 1 less neo-con adviser polluting the Republican party.

I'm not surprised, the neocons needed him to 'take one for the team.'

 

[lozina]

He's already polluted the water and it will take many years to clean it up.

At this rate Bush will be the last one left. The electorate will take care of that.

OMG, one advisor resigns and now it's "at this rate"?

Hah! Wanna put some money on that! Not even going to be close this time around. We could put Al Gore on a treadmill for 3 months and run him up against Bush again and he would win. Kerry, Edwards, whomever we throw will win even more convincingly. Fat lady is singing, time for a new king.

Why would I want to put money on an election? The expressions on the faces of the liberal weenies when Bush wins will be payment enough for me.

And if Bush loses? Well that means that'll be at least another 8 years before a Clinton can run for office!

It's a win/win from where I stand.

 

[leeboy]

Hey, not all of us want to see another Clinton in the white house. Win win for me too.

He is the 3rd or fourth person to resign in the last year.

Perle resigning can only be considered a good thing for the Bushies. Now, if they can just get asscraft to resign too, the country would be better off for it. Cheney too. Powell will probably opt out of a second term, although the second term scenario is by no means assured. Aside from the all-knowing Niblet with his crystal ball I mean . . .

Out of how many appointments? People resigned like crazy during any and every presidential administration. Some just don't have the stomach for it, some quit for more lucrative endeavors.

In any event, no-one of any real significance to the Bush administration has resigned, hence the reason for rolling my eyes.

This all knowing niblet thinks Cheney will "retire" from politics and opt out of a re-run. I certainly hope that Bush selects John Engler as his VP.

Glad to see that wild-eyed idealogue Pearle gone. Crazy son of a b*tch.

Here's a list of 5 that have resigned

It doesn't include White who was the Secretary of the Army, and todays addition of Perle.
Norton is on the list but she resigned too, as did Secretary of Labor Linda Chavez.

That's 9 in the first 3 years of a 4 year term, ant these are all very high up positions,
9 out of 25 is 36 %, I'm sure that some minor players have left without the general public knowing.

Don't forget Harvey Pitt that's 10

 

[arsbanned]

I don't *think* those numbers are unusual. Also, you will always see a flux around elections, AFAIK.

 

[sandorski]

I should have put a winky on my first post.

What? Linda Chavez was nominated to the position but withdrew her candidacy after the whole undocumented worker/friend incident. I think Norton is still there. That is some FUZZY math.

So now that we are bogged down in Iraq it turns out the neocon's policies are "controversial."
Well it's nice of them to tell us. What's the latest "reason" we are in Iraq? I haven't been keeping track of the latest lies from the White House.

Engler blows. He did everything in his power to fcvk over Michigan before he left.
