I'm so glad he's going, if this is true. Who gives a damn if it looks like a "victory" for the Dems? Bush has been handing them victory after victory for years, so what difference does one more make?
Rip van Gonzales is the second worst AG in my memory......with you-know-who being first and Ramsey Clark chuggin' along in third.
Gonzales' legacy will be for what he never did rather than what he did do.

I’m giving up on this administration.
I just don’t care anymore.

If Gonzales goes can you imagine the promises Bush’s next candidate for AG would have to make to the Judiciary committee in order to get confirmed? Bush might as well move someone up to Acting AG and leave it at that. Or do a recess appointment.
