Holly crap it’s like the Bush Administration is the Titanic, but none of the crew will go down with the ship, they probably threw a few kids out of the life boats on their way out. First Tony Snow the mouthpiece…out b/c of financial concerns. Then Rove…freaking Satan of the RNC bows out for God only knows why, probably to try in vain to help some other corrupted soul get into power. Now Alberto Gonzalez…well he gave no official reason but I think it’s because he’s a lying liar who lies, or has a specific form of amnesia caused by Congressional proceedings. Either way, that’s not good if you are supposed to embody all that is fair and right in the Justice Dept.
Now mind you this man had potential, well in some Universe. He was the first Hispanic to hold the job, he was clearly smart, but he made the choice to go become Darth Gonzalez and mess with the Judiciary system. What freaks me out…Bush wanted this guy on the Supreme Court. THE SUPREME COURT!!! It boggles the mind to even consider it.
NPR, which consistently rocks, had some fascinating insight on this. The timing is terrible for any replacement. Democrats AND Republicans are pissed at the Bush Administration attempts at bullying and manipulating the Attorney General post, so you know that a little Pet Friend from Texas is not getting this job. I’m going to tap my sometimes psychic abilities and just throw out to the world that there will me months of drawn out debate, name calling and confirmation hearing for our viewing pleasure. Add that to the joys of the earliest campaign season in History, and that just make FroggerGirl want to hid under the covers for a while, or at least reduce some of her politics induced stress down here in the DC swamp.
Gotta Love Politics!

FG, you had a fantastic suggestion earlier that we should take bets on who will jump ship next! Chertoff? Nah. Condie? Naaah. Hmmm... if we could come up with a list of 3-4 viable Titanic Candidates, we could really have a fun betting game going! I'd put my money down on a current general in Iraq or Afghanistan. Someone who will resign very publicly, testify in front of Congress on the shady dealings of American military in Iraq, and then write a book about the whole experience... before getting on the Board of Directors of some lucrative national security firm. Yup.
I'm going to have to put serious thought into a list. The administration is on the clock to zero hour quickly. It's really hard to pick a good candiate to risk my money on. Hmmmm....Princezz, we may need to work on a pool. It could be Patrious or if we are REALLY lucky Cheney!
