Gonzalez out Chertoff in.

Attorney General Gonzales resigns.


He was treated unfairly by the Democrats about the whole firing of several Whitehouse prosecutors non-debacle debacle, that is, until he proved he was an incompetent crony, which is always a nice quality in an attorney general.

Earlier this month, at a news conference, Mr. Bush dismissed accusations that Mr. Gonzales had stonewalled or misled a congressional inquiry. “We’re watching a political exercise,” Mr. Bush said. “I mean, this is a man who has testified, he’s sent thousands of papers up there. There’s no proof of wrong.”

Yeah, it was a Democratic exercise, and Gonzales couldn't handle it.

Oh, and Chertoff is or might be his replacement. For more on this uninteresting story, try Hot Air.
