ten billion butterfly sneezes

In the best news the Bill of Rights has had in a while, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigned today. He is at least guilty of being an incompetent and ineffective manager.

When CNN first broke the story, their “informed sources” mentioned DHS Secretary Michael “Gut Feeling” Chertoff, another major league Administration lickspittle, as a replacement. This rumor seems to have cooled; I hope that indicates that he won’t be nominated for the next AG.

I never thought I’d say it, but Gonzo made John “I Lost an Election to a Dead Guy” Ashcroft look like an absolute beacon of freedom and justice.  I just hope that whoever the next AG is, we won’t be sitting around pining for the “Gonzalez Era.” Don’t laugh; it could happen.
