There you go Democrats, you got your pound of flesh. Bush in absentia. I bet the left side of the blogosphere is celebrating:
US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, embroiled in the row over the sacking of US attorneys, has resigned, reports quoting senior officials say.Solicitor General Paul Clement will be acting attorney general
Mr Gonzales, who has been in the job for two-and-a-half years, is expected to formally announce the decision in Washington later on Monday.
He is said to have submitted his resignation to the president on Friday.
The acting attorney general with be Solicitor General Paul Clement. He "can stay in that position for quite a while," a senior administration official said.(via)
That would avoid a bruising confirmation fight. Some Democratic senators have vowed now to confirm a Gonzales successor.
