The Good:
Paul Wolfowitz resigned from the World Bank, effective June 30th... 'Nuff said.
The Bad:
Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty officially blamed his children's college finances for his resignation. Hmm... worse cover-up EVER!
The Ugly:
Sadly, Alberto Gonzalez is still Attorney General. Well... Congress may have a full plate, but as the NY Times pointed out, he's impeacheable, you know!

Maybe we should start a pool for "Who's resigning next?"
With people leaving on a weekly basis, it's almost like another really bad reality show.
The number of Bush Administration officials who have resigned or "retired" in the midst of scandals continues to grow quite rapidly. But in case you needed a few refreshers, here are a few folks, plus their nicknames:
VP Chief of Staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby
FEMA Director, Michael "Brownie" Brown
World Bank President, Paul "Wolfie" Wolfowitz
Sec of Defense, Donald "Gin Rummy" Rumsfeld
CIA Director, George "G-Unet" Tenet
Deputy Attorney General, Paul "P-Mac" McNulty
Deputy Sec of State, Randall "Handy-Randy" Tobias (See Note 1)
The list is actually quite too long to be posted here exhaustively. So you can check it out more names here.
I'm sure another name will be added to the list within the next several weeks... I'm not one to name names, unlike Karl Rove, but just in case... does anyone know the Attorney General's nickname? (see Note 2)
Note 1: Not all nicknames are confirmed.
Note 2: "AG, Al, and The Judge" are his current nicknames, but they don't quite cut it, so I'm sure he's open to suggestions.
