Rumor has it Alberto Gonezales will officially resign this Friday. It is the talk of DC. Another one bites the dust.
Bad information. Gonzalez resigned last Friday, according to reports.
Michael Chertoff is the heir apparent.
I bet Mike Nifong gets the job
They say Chirtoff (sp?) is the likely candidate.
Seems the Texas connection is running out of options.
Owen Wilson took the news hard.
Chertoff gets the nod for his hard work handling the Katrina response.
Brownie bout to make a comback?
Here's CNN's take:

Only if a scapegoat is needed.
Obviously qualified to head DHS.Clay Johnson, deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget, would replace Chertoff, the senior administration officials said.
Johnson, a longtime friend of Bush, served as the president's chief of staff and appointments secretary when Bush was governor of Texas. He was executive director of the Bush-Cheney transition team.
01/09 can't arrive fast enough for GWB.
Every time someone resigns from this administration, it always makes me wonder where they are going to end up:

Look on the bright side for Gonzales... now that he's going to resign, he can figure out a way to read his own e-mails now that he doesn't have to read mine.
What's the line on his getting the Medal of Freedom?
01/09 can't arrive fast enough for everyone else, either.
I guess we'll have to wait for the blogs to tell the neocons here how to respond to this news (or newz, depending on where you think Darfur is).
ooohhh... it's got to be 10-1 he's getting one../.

Well, it'll be nice putting Chertoff in a job he's actually qualified to do as well. Lord knows who is slated to take over DHS.
As far as I can tell, the qualifications for any job in the Cabinet are: "Find a way for the Executive to do as it pleases, without it coming back to reflect badly upon officers of the Executive, much less endanger them legally."
Chertoff has shown only mediocre capability to carry this out, and in fact has found a way to make Bush look bad, even outside the au es of trying to abet any kind of cons utionally questionable executive initiative, inasmuch as I cannot find any way that administrative failure in emergency response furthers the fortification of the Unitary Executive concept.
I was talking from a pure CV point of view, but your point is well taken.
maybe gonzo has their computers on lockdown. amazingly quiet, isn't it.
maybe they'll wait until gonzo is selected to head up the world bank.
Just another victim of the dimm-0-crap machine. Don't like
them, destroy them. Seen it time and time again. Of course
they keep their own little screw-ups and hold them in high
esteem. Like Teddy, the swimmer, Kennedy and The
house madam Barny freak, I mean Frank.
And as usual all you buzzards circle overhead relishing the
feast. Leave it to the liberals, the most wonderful caring
individuals on earth to enjoy ruining a good man.
