Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' resignation is expected to be made official in a statement by President Bush at 11:50 AM EST this morning. (Read more: CNN)
According to the CNN article, no one in Gonzales' camp had ANY IDEA this was going to happen. Which begs the question - What did this guy actually do that he's being blackmailed into quitting his job NOW? After all the illegal firings and his inability to recall, well, anything, what could possibly be his reason for leaving? The only thing that could have happened is that he must have seriously and violently raped a panda. He did everything he could to hold on to the job, but after Karl Rove's resigning to "be with his family" (see "baby seal rape"), it's obvious Gonzales' playboy lifestyle has caught up with him.
But what will possibly come of this huge shakeup in Washington? Surely, after all of the wiretapping and misplaced habeus corpus, President Bush will be installing a competent, established lawmaker to turn the system around, in the person of... Michael Chertoff?...
...Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff who defended the government's response to Katrina by saying they couldn't have been prepared... for a disaster? Why do I have a slight feeling we'll be hearing Chertoff say "We couldn't have possibly prepared for Mr. Gonzales' retiring, but we'll be funneling aid to the Attorney General's office immediately to stave off any problems."?
