Later, dickhead!Alberto Gonzales, the nation's first Hispanic attorney general, announced his resignation Monday. Another view is that he was driven from office after months of brutal criticism over his honesty and competence. Yet another view is that he was the wrong man for the job who lasted as long as he did only by the grace of his friends in higher governmental office.
The president said the attorney general's "good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons," and that "months of unfair treatment that has created a harmful distraction," but Republicans and Democrats alike had demanded his departure over the botched handling of FBI terror investigations and the firings of U.S. attorneys. How do we find out the truth? Listen to the lame duck president with a history of convenient fact shifting who is defending his friend and appointee, or the bi-partisan group from Congress with nothing to gain and no interests to serve here but their constituents? Tough call...
Solicitor General Paul Clement will be acting attorney general until a replacement is found and confirmed by the Senate.
