"Because Five And A Half Years Is A Long Time"

Q Tony, why did the Transportation Secretary resign?

MR. SNOW: Because he wanted to. He was not being pushed out. There's no -- as a matter of fact, the President, the Vice President, and others were happy with him and they suggested that --

Q He felt like he had put in his time?

MR. SNOW: Yes, he put in five-and-a-half years. That's a long time.

I can think of at least three or four other W, Rove and Co. officials that I wish would use the same logic for resignation.
