Good riddance. One of Bush's hatchet men is leaving.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Allan Rutter, Administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration, announced today that he is leaving his current post in mid-June for a position with a Texas transportation organization.

"It was a difficult decision, but ultimately it is what is best for my family," Rutter stated. "The opportunity to serve President Bush as FRA Administrator has been truly an honor and a privilege and one of the great experiences of my life."
