Gonzales resigns

At a press conference on Monday the embattled Attorney General announced his resignation. Long seen by many in congress as too partisan for the position and accused of, among other things, co-opting the power of the government to win elections and general ineptitude in the management of the Justice Department, Mr. Gonzales' resignation had been widely anticipated in Washington for some time. When asked how he ultimately came to the conclusion to leave his post Mr. Gonzales replied that he did not recall, saying, “I recall making a decision. I just don't recall how or when the decision was made."
