We couldn’t help but notice that former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman lost her Todd when she joined the Bush administration. Seriously. As (until recently) the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, she has been known simply as Christie Whitman. Which doesn’t pack the same punch, if you know what we mean. We fear that Christine may have lost her maiden name and her full first name because the whole package was just a little too brash, a little too "I’m my own woman" for certain members of the right-of-right side of the political spectrum. And after she gave up her Todd and helped him get elected, Bush gave Christine a crappy assignment at the EPA and then did not lift one finger to support her as she took hit after hit for the White House.

We would resign, too. Godspeed, Christine. We hope you get your Todd back.
