Christmas in August: Alberto Gonzales Resigns

Well another Bushee has left the building! I'd like to think I helped by signing a few of the many of petitions out there calling for Gonzales's resignation. "I can't recall" exactly how many I did sign, but as they popped up, I signed.

'Embattled Attorney General Resigns'

WACO, Tex., Aug. 27 — Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales,whose tenure has been marred by controversy and accusations of perjurybefore Congress, announced his resignation in Washington today,declaring that he had “lived the American dream” by being able to leadthe Justice Department

Mr. Gonzales, who had rebuffed calls for his resignation for months,submitted it to President Bush by telephone on Friday, a senioradministration official said. There had been rumblings over the weekendthat Mr. Gonzales’s departure was imminent, although the White Housesought to quell the rumors. Readon...

Robert Greenwald's Brave New Filmswas a major player in getting the word out.

'The President Won't Fire Him -- But You Can'

'New Impeach Gonzales Video. Part 2: The Crimes'

'True Majority Action' was also another big player in getting the word out.

I am sure this will be an interesting week of news. I suppose we'll have FNC(Fox) telling us "come on, the guy wanted to spend time with hisfamily", then go into a few rants about some of the fallen Democrats.

Have a Good day All!

Well said.

They will all just slither away - if we let it happen. But not the damage done. The legacy stays with us.

Tony, THANK YOU for posting this. great videos. I am so happy that he is stepping down. THANK GOD. I cannot wait for a new president. I cannot wait for a new administration. and I hope that things will change. while unwanted corruption is almost always previlent when people are giving power but these people have gone so far in their deception and this distruction of this beautiful and wonderful country. This is good and in another year they will ALL be gone.
