I just woke up and heard this on C-SPAN.  No articles to link to just yet, but according to the New York Times, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is to announce his retirment this morning, 8/27/07.

I wish he had quit a few months ago and saved us all a big nuisance.
::)

Oh, wait a minute, here's one:

Looks like Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is the White House's #1 candidate to replace Gonzales.  Think Progress?  More like Think Stupid!
:D

  Guess Gonzo wasn't wearing his bullet-proof vest...

  Enter Chertoff.  Garbage out, garbage in... ::)

chertoff's confirmation hearings should be highly amusing.

Rats abandoning a sinking ship.

``He has exhibited a lack of candor with Congress and the American people and a disdain for the rule of law and our constitutional system. I strongly urge President Bush to nominate a new attorney general who will respect our laws....'' - Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.

Did somebody mention a Republican even other Republicans can't defend?  Cue Chappaquiddick.

(We conscientious conservatives respect Mary Jo's family and we would never use their daughter's tragic death for cheap political retort!)
:D

Nah, Chertoff is a spoiled ballot.  I'm thinking mmmmaybe....Ted Olson!  He may be a sneaky partisan trickster, BUT his wife died in the 9/11 attacks...so you can't badmouth him!

Giggidy-giggidy-giggidy-gigg...awriiight!

Oh, he did.  He just failed to recall that he quit.  Then he quit again, but forgot to sign his resignation.  He's probably forgotten that he had a press conference announcing his resignation this morning, but if he did quit this morning, he's sure that today's resignation is definitely not the resignation that's been called for by dozens of Senators on both sides of the aisle for the past month. 

Anyone wanna make odds that Harriet Miers is his replacement? 

If I were running against Teddy Kennedy I would take the high road.

At the beginning of my campaign I would call a press conference and anounce "I am going to run a clean campaign here.  Never worry, I will NOT resort to rubbing ol' Ted's nose in the story of Chappaquiddick and how poor Mary Jo was drowned and her lide ended in such a heinous manner."

And at the beginning of each debate I would reaffirm my stance to "not dredge up the story of chappaquidick and Mary Jo's drowning."

Somebody has to set the standards for clean campaigning.  May as well be me.

I wouldn't put it past Dubya.
I wouldn't put it past Dubya to nominat Gonzo to the Supreme Court either!
Or to appoint Michale "Brownie" Brown as Surgeon General!
:D
