Republicans and Democrats alike had demanded his departure over the botched handling of FBI terror investigations and the firings of U.S. attorneys, but President Bush had defiantly stood by his Texas friend for months until accepting his resignation last Friday.

"After months of unfair treatment that has created a harmful distraction at the Justice Department, Judge Gonzales decided to resign his position and I accept his decision," Bush said from Texas, where he is vacationing.

Solicitor General Paul Clement will be acting attorney general until a replacement is found and confirmed by the Senate, Bush said.

Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff was among those mentioned as possible successors, though a senior administration official said the matter had not been raised with Chertoff. Bush leaves Washington next Monday for Australia, and Gonzales' replacement might not be named by then, the official said.

"It has been one of my greatest privileges to lead the Department of Justice," Gonzales said, announcing his resignation effective Sept. 17 in a terse statement. He took no questions and gave no reason for stepping down.

Bush said the attorney general's "good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons." Though some Republicans echoed the president's veiled slap at Democrats, Gonzales had few defenders left in Washington.

2. I am tired of all of the hypocrisy...

Bush gets in our face and lies and tells us to not believe what we know is true. You can play back any of the incidents that have occurred since he has been in office and point out the lies and he will continue to lie to the american people as well as the world.

4. I turned him off after a couple of minutes. He is like a spoiled child who lies and lies and

lies and add to that, one of his favorites can no longer be there to help him with those fucking lies.
It was disgusting.

7. STFU bush

"After months of unfair treatment that has created a harmful distraction at the Justice Department,
Judge Gonzales decided to resign his position and I accept his decision," Bush said from Texas,
where he is vacationing.

Lying under otha by the A.G. to Congress is not a "little thing."
