GOING, GOING, GON-ZALES!

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has finally given up the ghost. Announcing his resignation in a speech at the Justice Department this morning that lasted less than three minutes, he thanked his wife and President Bush, made not reference to his legal battles of the last eight months, took no questions from shouting reporters, turned on his heels and fled.

Like the Geneva Convention, the notion of justice is quaint. I doubt that the American people will get any concerning Alberto Gonzales. Perhaps we should just breathe a sigh of relief that he's gone.
