Several top Bush officials ‘would like to leave.’
In his political report today, Robert Novak hints that other members of President Bush’s Cabinet would like to follow the example of VA Secretary Jim Nicholson and resign:
The sudden resignation by Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson came as a huge surprise in Washington. Nicholson says he is feeling his age at 70 years, and there are a number of cabinet members who would like to leave. He has no political plans.

In his political report today, Robert Novak...
That should be enough right there to dismiss this article.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:34 pmJust in time to cut an immunity deal...
July 18th, 2007 at 5:34 pmOh, oh, oh..., please let it start with Gonzales, Chertoff, and Rice!!
July 18th, 2007 at 5:34 pmNo s**t! Who wants to be associated with the worst administration in history? This is from NOVAK too. C'mon Trolls lets hear that spin.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:35 pmI wonder how many of them have gotten calls from Larry Flynt in the last week or so.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:37 pmThat's all very nice...
...but unfortunately I don't believe a word Novak says.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:37 pm#1 i really did stop reading at that point and just skimmed. Who let that souless beast out of his cage anyway?
July 18th, 2007 at 5:37 pmSheesh...If they all want to leave, they can use my motor home free of charge - as long as they stay gone.

Zing!
July 18th, 2007 at 5:38 pmI'd like them to leave too, starting with Gonzales, then Cheney, then Bush.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:38 pmNovak, the traitor, is the one who published the name of a covert CIA agent, destroyed her cover and the CIA cover Company of Brewster & Jennings, putting other CIA agents lives at risk as well..
This man should be shunned, if not tried, jailed and executed.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:41 pmGuess ol, Dubya will look around very soon and find his cabinet bare. Seems nobody wants to play with Georgie Porgie any more! Maybe Lil' Cheney and Lil' COndy will still give him his strokes so he won't cry.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:43 pmThe ship is sinking
July 18th, 2007 at 5:53 pmRats - Sinking ship.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:53 pmSeveral top Bush officials ‘would like to leave.’
Here, let me get the door for ya.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:54 pmGo. Just leave. Now.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:55 pmI would like them to leave too, preferebly with a one way ticket to Iraq, and an M-16.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:56 pmI hope someone is tracking what kind of fabulous, well paying jobs these ex-bushies end up with.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:57 pmGo. Just leave. Now.

And take your chimpanzee with you.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:58 pmYes, please all leave and take Dead Beat George with you.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:00 pmI would like them to leave too, preferebly with a one way ticket to Iraq, and an M-16.

How about a single shot muzzle loader and half an ounce of wet powder.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:04 pmBut... but... Clinton's top officials quit too!!
/sarcasm off

Give them a slingshot, and make them find their own rocks.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:05 pmIf they are going to be involved in a shootout with an IED or a suicide truck bomber, they might as well carry squirtguns.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:08 pmRats - Sinking ship.
Comment by heckofajobbushie
Let me correct that for ya... "Sunken ship"... there, much better!!!
July 18th, 2007 at 6:10 pmSquirt guns can be mean, if loaded with bleach, but loaded with nitro can cause self-inflicted wounds.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:11 pmAll Novak knows how to do is suck up to the powerful and spread gossip. In other words, this is right up his alley. There probably are some high-ranking creeps that are hoping to have some kind of career after 2008 and want to shake the mud from their skirts now.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:19 pmCan anyone blame them? They're reading the handwriting on the wall and don't want to be indicted themselves.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:21 pmWhy is it that Robert Novak reminds me of a very old bag lady?

Perhaps it is the resemblance.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:26 pmThey're not alone. We'd all like them to leave too!
July 18th, 2007 at 6:27 pmPerhaps it is the resemblance.
Comment by WaltTheMan — July 18, 2007 @ 6:26 pm
First audible laugh of the day.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:28 pmSquirt guns with DMSO & LSD mixed.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:34 pmWhat we need is the entire administration from the Not-Really-the-elected-President on down to resign.
They would if they had any ethics or morals at all.
Could it be that just maybe that there are more than just a few names on that DC madams list that are in this criminal administration?
Is the RNC Troll day shift just about over? Mr. P(rick) and CT_V1's fingers must be getting tired about now.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:38 pmTheir morale must be in the shitter, as they have to be reminded by each morning mirror reflection of their complicity in the WORST Administration. EVER.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:46 pmWhy is it that Robert Novak reminds me of a very old bag lady?

Comment by WaltTheMan — July 18, 2007
Must you pick on bag ladies? Aren't their lifes hard enough as it is?
July 18th, 2007 at 6:50 pmSo what's stopping them?! Are there no think tanks? Are there no tax havens?
July 18th, 2007 at 6:58 pmCould it be? Naw! Couldn't be!
The fact that the Veterans Admin has had it's funds quietly removed from underneath Nicholson and his budgetary requirements can not be met? More squirreling away by whom, and for what?
July 18th, 2007 at 7:00 pmWho thinks it would be kind of interesting to watch the rats leaving the ship of state AND track those who take up residence outside the borders of the U.S.?
July 18th, 2007 at 7:13 pmSounds great! I'll drive to Washington to help them move their stuff!
July 18th, 2007 at 7:19 pmRats abandoning a sinking ship...
July 18th, 2007 at 7:27 pmSo if they're thinking of leaving what is keeping the chickenshits in their jobs? A mass exodus from the White House would make the news. This dribbling out of one or two every week is not having a dramatic effect.
July 18th, 2007 at 7:30 pmHere's your asspad. Don't let the door hit ya...
July 18th, 2007 at 7:34 pmI'm pretty sure McDonald's is hiring.
July 18th, 2007 at 7:38 pm#45: Man, that would suck:
"Would you like Executive Privilege with that order?"
July 18th, 2007 at 7:39 pmWell resign already and leave DC you bunch of GOPer crooks.
July 18th, 2007 at 7:55 pmthe full novak article can be found here but it doesn't have anymore info. It's really just a tease.
July 18th, 2007 at 9:29 pmfirst timer will try this again...http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=21588
July 18th, 2007 at 9:32 pmI'm guessing they want to spend "more time with their families" - before all those subpoenas, indictments & arresting officers start arriving....
July 19th, 2007 at 2:38 amThere's going to be an exodus when Larry Flynt drops his list, they're trying to beat the rush.
July 19th, 2007 at 9:37 amI have quit YouTube and will be committing ritual suicide online.
The Rock Star life is just too much for me.
