Gonzo Gone & Rumored Replacements
Going, going, gone. At long last, shameless, lying Alberto Gonzales heard the loud gong of outrage and resigned his post as U.S. attorney general.
In breaking news, rumors of Gonzo leaving were right. He resigned last Friday but the administration wanted to wait to announce the good news so Bush could talk to him at his "ranch" in Texas over the weekend and avoid headlining the Sunday gabfests.
Meanwhile, Democrats are delirious with joy to see him go, The Washington Post records.

Alberto Gonzales was never the right man for this job. He lacked independence, he lacked judgment, and he lacked the spine to say no to Karl Rove," said Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid (R-Nev.).
"Long overdue. The rampant politicization of federal law enforcement that occurred under his tenure seriously eroded public confidence in our justice system. The president must now restore credibility to the office of the Attorney General," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Ain't that the truth and then some...! Rumors are running amok that Paul Clement, Michael Chertoff, James Comey, Ted Olson, Chris Cox, Orin Hatch and Larry Thompson are all in the running.
