McNotGonzales resigns
Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty tendered his resignation. McNulty claimed to be stepping down because of the "financial realities" brought of "college-age children and two decades of public service."
Obviously McNulty's stepping down over the US Attorney purge. He's the fourth senior official to step down as a result of the scandal. McNulty lied to Congress when he claimed that the USAs were fired for "performance-related reasons," so it's not surprising that he's also lying about the reasons for his resignation.
Leave it to Republicans to spin resignation in disgrace as a whine about not getting paid enough.
Looks like there'll be a new BDSM ad coming out of main justice.

Of course, AGAG wasted no time before he got out this morning and promptly blamed everything on McNulty.

Gonzo won't go, and neither will Lambowitz. Dubya doesn't have the balls for a nomination fight, especially since he knows that it will be impossible to get a hardcore loyalist past the Dems. Right now he's so desperate to maintain control that he'll never nominate anyone but a dyed in the wool loyalist.
