According to this article at the Politico, linked from Drudge, Gonzales is on his way out the door as Attorney General of the United States. I posted on this earlier, pointing out what a sham this whole “scandal” appears to be at this point, so I’m not going to beat a dead horse.

I will simply observe, as many have over the years about this Administration, that the White House seems to have a severe lack of will to stand up for the truth and principles of how the government works for such procedural matters. Fire Gonzales because 8 out of 93 U.S. Attorneys were fired by the White House, when they serve at the pleasure of the President? Are you kidding me?

I do not know all of the facts of this case, as most people do not. I do know, however, that from what I have seen thus far this is completely ridiculous. It is a shame that the Administration is so willing to bend over and take whatever bullcrap Nancy and Co. deem necessary. How many U.S. Attorneys did the Clinton Administration fire? Oh yeah, that’s right, all 93 of them.

It’s a sad day when the White House is so unwilling to defend their actions that appear to be completely legal and reasonable.

[Update]  Neal Boortz has this to say about this whole mess:

 The White House appears ready to throw him under the bus for the manner in which 8 U.S. Attorneys were fired. Once again, a scandal invented and nurtured by Democrats, with eager help from the leftist/Democrat media, consumes another public official. But is the firing/resignation justified? The answer, of course, is absolutely not. No matter how many embarrassing e-mails are trotted out, the facts remain the facts: the U.S. Attorneys are political appointees that serve at the pleasure of the president. It is and always has been that way. George W. Bush could get up one day and fire them all for no reason. That’s how it works.

But when you mix a Bush-hating Democratic Congress with a spineless administration, this is what you get. And it’s too bad, because now another decent public servant will get pushed out of office with nowhere to go to get his reputation back. The problem is that Bush will throw Gonzales to the wolves in an attempt to appease his new Democratic masters…but as always, the problem with paying blackmail is that the price always goes up. Who will be next? Karl Rove?
