AP is reporting that Interior Secretary Gale Norton will resign today. No reason given ahead of the official White House announcement.

Good riddance.

I said dozens of times that if EPA chief Christie Whitman had an ounce of integrity she would resign. She did and she did.

I doubt Norton is resigning for such principled reasons. She's probably done more to endanger our national forests and wilderness areas than anyone in recent memory.

UPDATE: As mentioned by CE Petro in comments, Norton's resignation may be Abramoff related.

P.S. Can't wait to see what kind of clear-cutting, oil-gushing, puppy-killing goon Bush comes up with to replace her. Might be a good opportunity to just outsource the whole thing to Halliburton.
