Finally! What is the hold up on Impeachment? It shames us before the world how corrupt and perverted our government has become. I think it is time for the UN to send in officials to monitor our elections processes. This is a shameful disgrace. No kidding about a day late and a dollar short!
The only reason Gonzales was "dragged through the mud" is because there was mud there!
It's about time, should have happened when they were fired.I think the American people will benefit more than either main party.He ended up looking out for Bush instead of the American people.
one more incoompetent appointee from an incompetent president. how many more will finally go?
lol, bush claims to have confidence in gonzales, but it appears gonzales doenst have confidence in himself!
He should NEVER have been confirmed.
About bloody time! When can we get rid of the rest of those liars, cheats, bullies and thieves?

Washington (CNN)- After losing the post of job of Attorney General, Alberto Gonazles was seen outside his office tomorrow, we went to talk to him for getting his reaction on this situation.
Mr.Gonzales replied, " I do not recall getting fired from my job, I will have to think about this question and will get back to you later".
We have no comments yet from Attorney General's staff members.
Can someone start prosecuting this administration for ruining America. The constitution has been raped and the stage is set for an American fall to the 2nd world. Say hello to the new Superpowers, Europe and China.
Wait, who's this guy again?
It's about time, the fool set all hispanics back far due to his actions. Can't wait to see the idiot who takes his place and who's next to step-down in this sad administration.
Let us hope that this is one more step towards this country moving away from being polarized and into a greater unity. There was a bi-partisan call for this and I am glad to see that it is finished. Let's get back to understanding that united we stand, divided we fall ... everyone in our government must be working for the good of the country and not for any single person or political party ... if we are ever to be the country that our fore-fathers visioned.
If Bush can't rely on its Attorney General to lie to the public in order to shield corrupt power and wanton lawlessness, then what will become of has this marvelous country?
Bush Cheney Missadminestration.

Again good news, Gonzolas is resigning. He is a disgrace to our democracy as is much of the Bush Cheney missadminestration.
How is it that Gonzolas hung on so long? How can honest people associate with him with out fear of ruining their reputation?
And will congress follow up with an impeachment action as the constitution further allows for "... disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States."
Our constitution does not say that it is required for the individual to still be in office for the impeachment and conviction process. No argument can be made that an individual can resign moments before being impeached and convicted and not be held accountable. To argue so would undermine completely the penalty the constitution allows which is to disqualify the offender "to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States."
Call your representative and senators today and say that the remedy our nation needs from the misdeeds of Gonzolas and Rove is impeachment and disqualification to hold future office.
And least the public forget Richard Armatage also should be impeached for his role in destroying the cover of a CIA agent as a means of attacking the credibility of an administration critic. A critic who was right regarding Iraqi efforts to get uranium ore and where the administration knew it had lied.
Finally, the House Resolution of impeachment of Dick Cheney is long overdue for action.
This couldn't come soon enough...This moron along with the entire Bush support system should all be in jail for treason. If nothing happens to him or anyone else...then these people really are above the law.
The thing that annoyed me most about the resignation speech was his claim that his worst day in the Department of Justice was better than the best day in his father's life. Unless his father sold himself for nothing willingly to the people most responsible for his poverty, I can't see how any day that the son spent doing the bidding of George W. Bush wasn't much worse for everyone, including himself, than any day in his father's hard, but respectable life.
LIFE IS SHORT,BREAK THE RULE,FORGIVE QUICKLEY AND MOVE ON.
Good riddance, better news would be if the rest of the moranic crew in the White House, state and home land security depts would also leave.
Gonzales did a good job. the democrates ruined another good man.
Can't fathom who they will suggest to take his place.. the politics of haterid are surprising.
It's too bad that the media's negative slant on this good man has built this tidal wave of ill will towards him. Everyone makes mistakes at their job, yet everyone also does good things as well. The same is true for attorney general. Perhaps if we stepped back and truly analyzed his performance we wouldn't be so quick to judge. Sorry to see ya go Alberto.
A good first step, but it shouldn't stop the efforts to find out what was going on at the so called justice department.
What a shame the first Latino Attorney General had to be Gonzales. He not only disgraced himself but his culture...he belongs in jail with Vick.
Way Overdue!
I'm going to miss him. He was a good kid, and did great things for the Fatherland.
I'm pretty sure that Gonzales, given a week's time, will not remember resigning at all and will say it's all hearsay. He'll then continue to lie through his teeth, saying some bipartisan committee must have planted the resignation.
Despite countless evidence contrary to everything he's saying, he'll recall nothing and chain smoke as a metaphor for the months' long smoke screen.
And then he'll be named head of FEMA.
