If you read this article in the August 28, 2007 online edition of the Washington Post, you realize that Gonzales's resignation is the result of Democratic control of the Congress. Without the Dems taking control of the Congress, there wouldn't have been Congressional hearings about the firing of the U.S. Attorneys. Without those hearings the country wouldn't have seen Gonzales lying under oath about his involvement in the firings, as well as his lying under oath about his pressuring Ashcroft during his infamous hospital visit. Without hearings, aides to Ashcroft wouldn't have had to testify under oath about the inner workings of the Justice Department.
There is a tendency these days for writers on various blogs to act as if the Democrats being in control of Congress has not changed anything. Well, if you think that things haven't changed, just ask good ole' Alberto. He probably has a much different perspective.
