Last year, Lurita Doan, the controversial leader of the General Services Administration (GSA) was named by CREW as one of the 25 most corrupt officials in the Bush Administration. Since that time, she has faced scrutiny from Congress and the Office of Special Counsel for potential violations of the Hatch Act.

Yesterday, at a meeting at the White House, it was "requested" that Ms. Doan submit her resignation:

Lurita Doan, the embattled head of the General Services Administration, resigned at the request of the White House, sources said Tuesday.

According to people familiar with the matter, the controversial agency administrator was summoned to the White House for a late afternoon meeting Tuesday, during which she was asked to step down.

Doan's ouster comes nearly 11 months after the independent Office of Special Counsel concluded an investigation of Doan and called for President Bush to fire her for violating the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from using government resources for partisan politics.

"I would rather get fired for something I believe in, and a cause I was willing to fight for, rather than to believe in nothing worth being fired for," Doan told Government Executive in an e-mail message.

Seems like she got her wish.
