U.S. officials say the Obama administration's special Mideast peace envoy, George Mitchell, is resigning after more than two largely fruitless years of trying to press Israel and the Palestinians into negotiations.

The officials tell The Associated Press that the White House is expected to announce on Friday that the former senator and broker of the Northern Ireland peace deal is stepping down for personal reasons. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the afternoon announcement.

Mitchell, 77, had spent much of the last two years shuttling between the Israelis and Palestinians in a bid to restart long-stalled peace talks. But in recent months, his activity has slowed markedly as the two sides drifted farther apart.

Maybe Senator Joe Liebermann will be his next choice. It would be a damn good choice, especially since Liebermann is retiring this year anyways.............

Since we're on the subject of 'That Q Word', I hear Donald Trump has become available...I can almost see it now-- "Envoy Apprentice", the new MSNBC/Universal/Comcast reality series.

I guess you'd have to ask Sarah Palin about that. From where I'm standing, Trump made a lot of noise, like he was The Bomb, and then went out without as much as a whimper after he lost his bluff with the President and folded like a cheap suit. At least Mitchell and Palin were in the game-- Trump has been a perennial gadfly.
