Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigned today, after taking a beating from the Democrats and the left in general:
“After months of unfair treatment that has created a harmful distraction at the Justice Department, Judge Gonzales decided to resign his position and I accept his decision,” Bush said from Texas, where he is vacationing.
…
Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff was among those mentioned as possible successors, though a senior administration official said the matter had not been raised with Chertoff. Bush leaves Washington next Monday for Australia, and Gonzales’ replacement might not be named by then, the official said.
You would think that the left would be running in the streets like it was the end of World War II. Instead, they want more investigations. And why not, they keep getting people to resign.
