While I’m very happy that Ashcroft is resigning (although I’m a little worried that his replacement will be even worse), I’m very unhappy to hear that Colin Powell is as well. I’m not surprised, and in some way his resignation allows me to hold onto a little bit of respect for him, but he’s seemed like one of the good guys, perhaps one of the only good guys. And, of course, I’m scared to find out who Bush will appoint instead.
