It that's true, then A.G. still doesn't get that his behavior and actions as the Attorney General were reprehensible. His own father could perhaps have been proud of his behavior, working hard to raise his children. I'm betting that he had some very good days, indeed. A.G. has disgraced himself, but doesn't seem to notice. I question the comment about his worst day being better than his father's best days.

This pollution is extremly injurious when the source of this filth is the top law enforcement official in the land. When the qualification of this office bacame best friend instead of best qualified, the results are predictable. But in a administration where all important appointments have that same criterion, no one should be surprised.

The timing of his resignation comes awkwardly, but Attorney General Gonzales did not committ any crime. It is customary for a Presidential administration to replace all States Attorneys however usually they are done in one fell swoop, at the start of a term. Each President has the perogative to appoint these attorneys according to political bent. Alberto Gonzeles as Attorney General, is the highest-ranking Hispanic in the federal government ever.
