Mineta leaves office in 2005, But only noticed missing today.

Mineta Resigns, World asks "Who is he again"


After Capitol Hill Cleaning staff complained to the Bush Administration about unpaid bills from Secretary Mineta, police broke into the offices of Secretary Norman Mineta, only to find a handwritten note taped to his chair date April 2005, saying only that he had "Gone Fishin".

When questioned as to how a cabinet secretary could disappear for a full year without being noticed, White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolton replied "Well, He didnt complain when we cut his budget, so we figured that we shouldnt mess with a good thing.".

He's going to reform the Democratic Party?

No, that would be *much* too challenging.
