secretary of the interior's bathroom

ANOTHER CABINET DEPARTURE: SALAZAR TO STEP DOWN. ABC's Jonathan Karl reports: Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is the latest member of the Obama cabinet to depart at the start of the president's second term. A senior White House official tells ABC News that Salazar has told the president he intends to leave by the end of March. Salazar was a senator representing Colorado from 2005 to 2009 and prior to that was the state's attorney general. One possible replacement is outgoing Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire.

… AND HE'LL LEAVE BEHIND A REALLY NICE BATHROOM. ABC's Jonathan Karl reports: The personal bathroom used by the Secretary of the Interior is so swanky its renovation cost $220,000. No detail was overlooked: It has a $3500 sub zero refrigerator (hey, if you're going to have a fridge in the bathroom, it might as well be a good one) and a $689 faucet. At least the "vintage tissue holder" was cheap: just $65 bucks. The renovation was done in 2007 under President George W. Bush's Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, but is only now coming to light thanks to the dogged reporting by ABC News Atlanta affiliate WSB-TV, which first filed a Freedom of Information Act request on the renovation four years ago.
