resignator

<res -ih g -n aye tor> 1. Any person who like U.S. President George W. Bush, the RESIGNATOR, allows for the entire support apparatus to collapse beneath themselves, all the while facing forward, unblinking and determined never to admit even the slightest of mistakes.

The man who allowed his own brain to resign from duty before the job was done (Karl Rove aka Bush's Brain), the giver upper, the man who won't change his mind about anything at all ever, but allows it to check out early while his body stays at work.
