Everybody needs to calm down a lot about Alberto Gonzales's resignation. Not that I wasn't thrilled to hear that the incompetent, imperious, lying little twerp finally got his sleazy ass pushed out of office, but I remember that same, serene, everything's gonna be alright feeling when Ashcroft resigned two and a half years ago. Oops. That was misplaced. Given the administration's history of promoting hacks more loyal to Bush than to their office, I'm duly jaded now. The status quo is bad news and changes within the administration are even worse. Frankly, I'll be surprised if we don't end up with Attorney General Ted Nugent before January 20, 2009.
