Cabinet Exodus
Powell's out.
Perhaps during his time off from serving as Secretary of State, he can try and regain his fucking dignity.
Ashcroft, Evans, now Powell, and more certainly to come. Is this Bush trying to gain our trust? If so, he needs to ask for Rumsfeld's resignation. Or is this Bush's cabinet saying, you made this bed, so you sleep in it? Did these folks always want out—that's certainly possible with Powell—and were told to stay until after the election?
Either way, this exodus of cabinet members will be read as a sign of weakness to those of us on the left, and a sign of strength to those on the right.
So we'll never know.

we should be horrified. it's not a sign of weakness so much as a sign that the worst is yet to come. With no need to worry about a future election -- whether because of term limits or because they suspend voting outright by 2008--they're now free to fill the cabinet with whomever they choose, public relations be damned. I'm just waiting for them to either have Cheney resign for "health reasons" (they need to train a new guy for '08), or even better-- lose him in a "terrorist attack."
