Some high-profile resignations:

Michael Brown of FEMA resigned on 12 Sep, 2005

John Bolton, UN Ambassador, 4 Dec, 2006

Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation took effect on 18 Dec, 2006

Pual Wolfowitz, World Bank, 30 Jun 2007

Karl Rove left the White House on 31 August, 2007.

Alberto Gonzales’s resignation will be effective on 17 September, 2007.

These are the people President Bush trusts and believes to have done a helluva job.

Without a doubt, Bush administration has become a lame duck government.

And, where is Dick Cheney in all these? In this sense, he is very smart: he is able to pull off the Iraq war but yet seemingly immune to any political trouble.
