President Bush’s highest-ranking aides got $4,200 raises this year, bringing their annual salaries to $172,200.

The latest White House staff list is out, and you can browse the whole thing here. There are 447 people on the list, their salaries ranging from $33,400 to $172,200. (Bush makes $400,000 and Vice President Cheney makes $221,200.)

Eighteen people are listed at the uppermost “assistant to the president” level. Some familiar names from previous years are notably missing, among them former Senior Adviser Karl Rove, who left the administration last summer, and former Press Secretary Tony Snow, who died earlier this month.

Indeed, with Joseph Hagin stepping down as deputy chief of staff for operations yesterday, fully half of Bush’s top stratum of advisers have been replaced in the past year. And, as you might expect in the waning days of an administration, most of the new arrivals are unknowns outside the wonkosphere — people like chief strategist Barry Jackson, chief lobbyist Dan Meyer and chief speechwriter Marc Thiessen.

The list, which the White House sends Congress annually, is far from exhaustive, however. It does not include staff members of the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, or the numerous military attaches, or the household staff.
