Alberto Gonzales to Resign

about time

 

The buck never stops at Bush or Cheney.

 

I guess Alberto was anxious to get his "Medal of Freedom" award.

 

Hopefully straight to Gitmo, and some 'tough' questions. Don't worry rightards; it will be done while safeguarding his civil rights. The shrub guarantees it.

 

I can feel the eyes watching me.

And they just blinked.

Unfortunately the organ grinder calling
the shots will just pick another monkey.

Ever notice how any Bush appointees under public scrutiny that Bush says he has his full confidence in, or is doing a wonderful job, etc. etc. eventually has to resign for poor job performance reasons?

Next up ... al-Maliki ...

 

What rats are left in this sinking ship?

It's the whole damn ship and those who support it are no better and are just as dishonest.


It doesn't take much imagination as to what the Progressives think of Gonzales, but here are some articles from the neocon pages:

Gonzales leaves without about one political ally to his name, and now we'll hear another cloying Bush speech about how a guy no one really liked and who brought considerable problems
the administration through his own bone-headedness was actually the greatest guy evuh.
I don't think it's entirely Gonzo's fault that he was left without friends. He's suffering largely from the Bush fatigue of the entire nation, including conservatives, and the ever-increasing Bush Derangement Syndrome of the Left.

Without the news about our AG, this would have been a bad morning, because I was twice proven wrong: I bemoaned the fact that Gonzales would surely never step down, and it happened mere hours later; then, my assertion that congressional Democrats can't get a damn thing done was undermined by that eternally pesky thing called data.
Congress scholar Thomas Mann has an "Op Chart" in the Times that compares how many substantive bills were passed and how many oversight hearings were held in the first half of the year by both the Republicans of '95 and the Democrats of '07. The Democrats stand up very well against the Republicans, especially on oversight and when you contrast the outputs of the House. The chart also points out that this year's Senate Republicans' use of the filibuster has been outrageous. Shout both of Mann's conclusions from the rooftops, because this narrative sure isn't out there.
