The Gonzalez Resignation
Gonzalez's resignation will, in all likelihood, do the following:- Cut off any further investigation into the US attorney scandal and any further wrongdoing such investigation might uncover.
- Provide the White House with the opportunity to bully Congress into confirming his replacement quickly, which they can present as a pressing necessity -- allowing the Justice Department to get back to simply "doing its job" now that the Democrats' needless investigations have driven out a dedicated public servant. Perhaps now the Democrats' partisan bloodlust is satisfied and we can get back to the business of fighting our common enemy!
But since no one watches the news or reads the paper anymore, the coming election will ultimately be decided by who looks most natural eating a chili dog -- which is part of the reason that I think John Edwards should be the Democratic nominee.
