Why is everyone leaving?

Four more members of Bush's cabinet have resigned: Secretary of State Colin Powell, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman, Education Secretary Rod Paige, and Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham. By our count, that's six so far (including Attorney General John Ashcroft and the commerce secretary).

Why the mass exodus? Does anyone out there know whether the number of resignations is unprecedented for the cabinet of a "re-elected" president? And what miscreants will Bush choose to replace these reprobates?

Now all we need is for Bush and Cheney to resign...
