Colin Powell submits resignation : "Powell is the most prominent of four Cabinet officials whose resignations were announced Monday by the White House.

The others were Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman, Education Secretary Rod Paige and Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham."

So what's the deal with this? Why so many Cabinet defections? Is it because W is done with these people? Have they served their purpose in his nefarious plan and now it's time to bring in the folks who will really carry out a radical right-wing plan? Or, after four years, have these folks just plain had enough? I know that being involved with the White House is tough, but it just seems to me that there are more people leaving than in past administrations.
