Alberto Gonzalez's Resignation

The news of Gonzalez's resignation is wonderful and will keep the mainstream media buzzing for a week.  The talking heads will debate endlessly about his unstated reason and, once again, what's happening in Iraq will be short-shifted.  

The most pressing issue this country faces is the amoral Iraq War and it will be drowned out by the media's buzz regarding one more of Bush's inept and deceitful old pals hitting the highway.

Meanwhile,The Arizona Star reported this morning that many of our soldiers are coming home from Iraq with cancer caused by the "depleted uranium" that turns into fine dust when munitions are exploded and inhaled by our troops.  (Deje vu Agent Orange Vietnam.)

I can't help but wonder if Gonzalez's resignation is yet another well-timed diversion.  To be followed by weeks of wrangling in Congress over approval of whatever idiot Emperor Bush appoints to replace him.
