Yahoo! News - Powell and Three Other Cabinet Members Resign
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Colin Powell announced his resignation in a letter released on Monday saying it was time for him to return to private life.

The White House also released letters of resignation from Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman and Education Secretary Rod Paige.

"I believe that now that the election is over the time has come for me to step down as secretary of state and return to private life," Powell said in a letter to President Bush dated Nov. 12.

I guess I never paid attention to the high cabinet turnover that follows an election before this administration. At least we still have Condi and Rummy to kick around. They are always good for a few laughs.
