Gonzales resignation — don’t hold that thought

Well, it is after 6:00 on a Friday night — time to announce the Gonzales resignation.

Oops, the White House Correspondent’s Dinner is tomorrow, when Hollywood and politics and the Prez mix. We wouldn’t want that to be the FOCUS for POTUS now would we? OK, folks, how about a nice Sunday, post-talk show announcement. Yup, sounds good.

If I were a cynical, true-blue Democratic strategist I would argue that Gonzales should stick around for several more weeks (months?) so we could make political hay from this complete incompetence but no, not me, get it over with and let’s get a new Attorney General appointed. Maybe Karl Rove would like the job?
