And that will be a wrap

Methinks Bush ordered this... :)

Rove's Car Gets Wrapped

White House workers don't seem to want chief presidential political adviser Karl Rove to leave at the end of this week.

Given the torture tactics he sanctioned, maybe Gonzo's send-off* should include wrapping him up like this?

* Earlier this week: US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigned.. finally! Not surprising to see almost 100% thoughts from public echoing what I said --- a little too late but good riddance ...

just now saw this at the left-leaning Guardian :)

Sinking ship leaves rat: Alberto Gonzales lived up to his nickname of Fredo - the sycophantic Mafia sidekick, always trying to please the Don. ouch..the article doesn't mince words!

Nancy Pelosi celebrates

The resignation of Attorney General Gonzales is long overdue. The rampant politicization of federal law enforcement that occurred under his tenure seriously eroded public confidence in our justice system.

so does Harry Reid:

"Alberto Gonzales was never the right man for this job. He lacked independence, he lacked judgment, and he lacked the spine to say no to Karl Rove. This resignation is not the end of the story. Congress must get to the bottom of this mess and follow the facts where they lead, into the White House."

Not going to enumerate all the Gonzales's sins... but its time for a fresh start, hopes one DailyKos writer.

Exit Gonzales

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has finally done something important to advance the cause of justice. He has resigned.

The puppet that lost its master
Alberto Gonzales had to leave the White House once his guiding hand and mentor, Karl Rove, had made a break for the exit.

More reaction here and here.

And here's what the rumor-mills had to say - even the day before the resignation - Chertoff most likely to be the replacement. If true, it would be rather sad / ironic to see him being promoted ...on the even of the 2nd anniversary of Katrina!
