Boy, the president's pardon drawer must be getting pretty full:

A senior White House budget official who resigned abruptly last week was arrested Monday on charges of lying to investigators and obstructing a federal inquiry involving Jack Abramoff, the Republican lobbyist who has been under scrutiny by the Justice Department for more than a year.

The arrest of the official, David H. Safavian, head of procurement policy at the Office of Management and Budget, was the first to result from the wide-ranging corruption investigation of Mr. Abramoff, once among the most powerful and best-paid lobbyists in Washington and a close friend of Representative Tom DeLay, the House majority leader.

So, let's see, that makes pardons for Karl Rove, David Safavian, Jack Abramoff, Tom Delay, and Ken "Kenny Boy" Lay (maybe Jeff Skilling too, depending on how Kenny Boy feels about him these days). Am I forgetting anyone? Please mention anyone I may have overlooked in the comments section. We could assemble quite a list.
