Attorney General Gonzales Resigns: NY Times

George is all alone. All we need now is for Mr.Bush to resign, along with Darth Cheney:

Mr. Gonzales, who had rebuffed calls for his resignation, submitted his to President Bush by telephone on Friday, the official said. His decision was not announced immediately announced, the official added, until after the president invited him and his wife to lunch at his ranch near here.

If U.S. News is right, Gonzales will be replaced by neocon and Homeland Security chief, Michael Chertoff. He's the one who screwed up Katrina. Or Mr.Bush(wacker) might decide to do something mischievous like make a recess appointment. FOX speculates that Solicitor General, Paul Clement, would be an "obvious" choice.

Timing:
Is it a coincidence that Gonzales "resigns" so soon after Karl Rove? They were both liabilities in incoming Congressional investigations after the recess in September. It could also mean that Congress has the goods on Gonzales and Rove.
