I was chuckling over today's (5.27.2003) Seattle Times Letters to the Editor page (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/opinion/134816800_tuelets27.html) when I came across this little nugget, offered by one J. Steel, of Sumner, in which town I happened to grow up, though that's not important now.So far I count 10, but there could be more. Ari Fliescher, Christie Whitman, Harvey Pitt, Paul O'Neill, Rand Beers, Larry Lindsey, James Furnish, John Brady Kiesling, John H. Brown and Mary A Wright. Of course they all "believe deeply in the president" and they all just need some "time with their family," right? It seems to me that these people may be jumping ship before it sinks. But you know ... when the anthrax scare was going on, a friend of mine went and looked up the CDC/MMR (Morbidity & Mortality Rate) and claims to have discovered that amid the "anthrax attacks", the death toll from anthrax was right on target for an average year. That the anthrax deaths appear to be murder will merely be an historical footnote in that sense. Nature does as nature will.

But didn't a number of people bail on Clinton in his first two terms? I don't feel like looking it up now, but I remember a distinct thought I had one day that went, Geez, after the appointment and confirmation scandals, a steady train of people leaving ... this can't be good. I even remember the room I was in when I thought it; that would put it about anywhere during Bill's first term, so I'm stumped for a moment.

But ten majors in two years and two wars? It could be that these people have given what they can, and the sinking ships are their own moral structures, in which case they're not jumping ship, but merely pulling away from the fleet in order to find a port for repairs. Once the damage is done, you can expect to see them back in action, most likely in the Sea of Newstalk or the Babble Ocean. Remember, politics feeds on human values like a vampire.

Tiassa :cool:

Note on Edit: It would appear that Mr. Steel has forgotten one: Ms. Karen Hughes, whose resignation was portrayed as a blow to the administration.
