Nobody ever resigns a government position because they screwed up. They almost always have a stock explanation tied to family responsibilities and economics.

The latest example:

Deputy U.S. Attorney General McNulty Resigns

Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty has announced that he will resign late this summer. He is the most senior official to step down from the Justice Department in the ongoing scandal over fired U.S. attorneys.

McNulty did not mention the fired prosecutors in the letter announcing his resignation. He told the attorney general, "The financial realities of college-age children and two decades of public service lead me to a long overdue transition in my career."

I suspect there is a form book for government employees that contains this recommended template: The financial realities of ______________________ and _________ years of public service lead me to a long overdue transition in my career.

The political realities requiring the departure would be refreshing and informative. But, that would probably reduce the market value of the subsequent book deal.
