Brown, you have been SHAFTED!
Linkage!
Director of the Federal emergency Management Agency, Michael Brown, resigned from his post after recent allegations of him being under qualified (if at all qualified) for the position. After hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the surrounding area, it was FEMA's job to clean up the mess and help the situation. When it became apparent that he was not doing a good job there, research was done into his background. Time Magazine later printed an article showing that his resume was affected so that it made him look like the proper choice for the position. He resigned, and is now replaced by President appointed David Paulison.
This is similar to the events of the Watergate scandal in 1972-74. President Richard Nixon actually had to resign do to his part in the scandal, where they bugged the Watergate hotel, which was the headquarters of the Democratic National Convention.

Be careful of facile comparisons. You have two people resigning a government post, but beyond that you never explain how they are alike (and therefore worthy of comparison) or how they are different. If you cannot do that, choose a different comparison.
