Look! A Unicorn!! No, Wait...Two Unicorns!!!
Knowing as we all do that Alberto Gonzales doesn't break wind with going through channels, you'd have to be an idiot to think that he just showed up on Friday and said, "Boss, I Quit" to the hand that has fed him for so many years. You couldn't possibly think that something of this magnitude was left to chance -- which is my way of saying that the resignation of Alberto Gonzales is a distraction covering something that must be pretty big.

What could it be?

There's that "Rolling Stone" article or maybe it's the really, really suspicious death of soldiers slated to testify about war crimes.

Who knows?

Your thoughts?

2. There's Not Enough Blankets in All the World To Coverup This Regime's Ass
They need coverups for the coverups! It's futile.

3. I think they wanted it done before the recess ended
That way he could jam his appointment through without Congress doing a damn thing to stop him. Nobody has abused this power like he has and if he wants criminals in office, he can get them in office without a vote this way.

6. Nope
his resignation is effective 9/17, when the Senate will be back in session.

There's no reason to suspect this is anything other than what it appears to be - a beleaguered Attorney-General resigning.

4. That rolling stones article should result in riots
and massive numbers of prosecutions. x(

I hope our next Democratic president goes after all of these criminals.
