By historical precedents, the Bush administration is probably only approaching a “slightly elevated” level of second-term scandal related resignations. That said, we couldn’t be happier with the folks who’ve been jumping ship lately, insofar as there’s no chance we’ll miss them.

Dear Karl. We wish you the best of luck and hope you enjoy phenomenal success on the conservative lecture circuit prior to accepting those numerous lucrative board appointments. We ask only that when you occasionally pop into Texas to see your estranged family, please tell them we said hello. In the meantime, let’s not forget that just because you’ve resigned doesn’t mean you’re now immune to prosecution. We’re holding out hope for you yet.
