Froomkin, the always savy Washington Post.com writer fills us in on a little problem at the White House this week:
Mark Silva breaks some news in the Chicago Tribune Washington bureau's new blog: "Claude A. Allen, the president's domestic policy adviser, turned in his letter of resignation today at the White House, the Bush administration acknowledged tonight.

"This may have been an inauspicious week for the highest-ranking African-American staffer in the White House to call it quits -- the day after the president appeared at the memorial service for Coretta Scott King, and at a time when Bush is attempting to improve his administration's relations with the black community. . . .

"White House spokesman Scott McClellan said tonight that Allen is seeking more time with his family and cited purely personal reasons for stepping down after a few tough years in high-level posts."
The old "I want to spend more time with my family" excuse. Translated: Bush is such a wanker that I can't live with myself any longer while working for this numbskull.

Who knows what set him off. Could have been the King funeral. Or maybe some more illegality going on. There have been many resignations, particularly from the Justice Dept., of patriots who cannot support the illegal actions taken by the White House.

Well Mr. Allen? Welcome back to the normal world. Hopefully you'll speak up a bit about what you know.
