Alberto Gonzales To Finally “Spend More Time With His Family”

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales Resigns – washingtonpost.com
Embattled Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales has resigned from his post, according to an administration official, ending a controversial cabinet tenure that included clashes with Congress over the firing of nine U.S. attorneys and the scope of efforts to spy on U.S. citizens.

I have to admit it. When I read this headline I cackled — yes, cackled — in a loud and extremely unflattering way.

It would be foolish, though, to assume that Gonzales’ leaving represents a change in the way the Bush administration is going to do things. There’s a cancer at the core of our political system and Alberto Gonzales was only one symptom of it.

Despite being a mean, hate-filled bitch, I’m just optimistic enough to believe that — if they really wanted to — our politicians could stop with the money-grabbing and face-saving bullshit and start doing things that are actually good for our country.

Yes… I know I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one.

Well, I’ll take a moment out from my gleeful little jig to say “Good riddance to bad news!” to Alberto Gonzales. Now, how about we close down the prison at Guantanamo and give the people we’ve been holding there fair trials? That would be a real step in the right direction.
