Not sure where this needs to be, feel free to move it appropriate.

Alberto Gonzales has resigned at AG according to the New York Times.

I am not sure how (if at all) this effects us, but personally I am happy, good riddance.

usatoday.com has the story as well.

What the heck, lets post something there, like hey, Sen. Kyl, you are going to need a new yes man at the DoJ for banning poker.......

%$$#% I am happy. I want to dance and sing and gloat and shoot the gun I don't have in the air. Maybe drink and find a hippy chick and see if she wants to mate.

WOW. shortest press conference EVER. Hey, bye, god bless.

Not sure this is good, wouldn't we rather have a lame duck AG in there under fire from Dems?

It's good. Bush will not get a religious extremist like Gonzales confirmed by Senate. I doubt that he will nominate one.

1. The job was always about him and his ambition, not the public good:

"Even my worst days as Attorney General have been better than my father's best days."

I would have preferred taking a chance on his Father, sight unseen.

2. The tool didn't even have the decency to tell his own staff in advance: "Gonzales aides at the highest level and other top-level officials knew nothing about the announcement in advance, Justice Department sources told CNN. They were not informed until a meeting Monday morning, sources said, when Gonzales acknowledged he would be reading a statement later in the day."

Good riddance. Thank God Frist doesn't have a law degree.

edit: Just looked at the date of resignation Sept. 14 so will this not have any affect?
