Alberto Gonzales Resigns to Spend More Time With Karl Rove's Family
That's what I would write if I wrote for The Onion. But I don't.

I despised Ashcroft. But then Gonzales replaced him, and now I miss Ashcroft. But there's no guarantee we've scraped the bottom of the barrel. Who could make me miss Gonzales? Attorney General Ann Coulter.

At least Fredo was consistent to the end. He couldn't go out without one last lie. See the last three paragraphs of the NYT report:
On Saturday night Mr. Gonzales was contacted by his press spokesman to ask how the department should respond to inquiries from reporters about rumors of his resignation, and he told the spokesman to deny the reports.
White House spokesmen also insisted on Sunday that they did not believe that Mr. Gonzales was planning to resign. Aides to senior members of the Senate Judiciary Committee said over the weekend that they had received no suggestion from the administration that Mr. Gonzales intended to resign.
As late as Sunday afternoon, Mr. Gonzales himself was denying through his spokesman that he was quitting. The spokesman, Brian Roehrkasse, said Sunday that he telephoned the attorney general about the reports of his imminent resignation “and he said it wasn’t true — so I don’t know what more I can say.”

I chuckled this morning when I read this quote from Chuck Schumer about the Gonzales nomination:
"It's encouraging that the president has chosen someone less polarizing. We will have to review his record very carefully, but I can tell you already he's a better candidate than John Ashcroft."
Although I can't say I'm sorry to see the guy go, it seems to me that according to Democrats, the worst person for any particular job is whoever holds it at any particular moment.
Finally, I think Bush should nominate Robert Bork for the job. Just to go out with a bang.
