PROSECUTOR PURGE: The Resignation Season Continues

A 8/24 Washington Whispers item reporting rumors of an AG Alberto Gonzalez resignation in favor of DHS sec. Michael Chertoff had bloggers buzzing well ahead of 8/27's announcement. Nobody was sorry to see Gonzalez go. Michelle Malkin says she won't shed any tears, but isn't crazy about the Chertoff idea either: "If the administration learned anything at all from the shamnesty debacle, DHS secretary Michael Chertoff would not be the reported leading candidate to replace Gonzales. Looks like they've learned nothing."

At The Corner, Jonathan Adler has no problem with Chertoff as long as he would be easily confirmed by the Senate while Kathryn Jean Lopez likes reports that Paul Clement is also in the running.
