A “credible” replacement? Seems to me any John or Jane Doe on the street would have more credibility than Alberto! To find someone with equal or less credibility would require a guest-pass to a GOP convention. (shudder)

If they refuse to look outside of their own party, it just ain’t gonna happen.

Job opening for attorney general with credibility

(CNN) — The next attorney general must carry enough stature to push White House anti-terrorism policies, combined with the charm and credibility to win over congressional Democrats, a former Justice Department official said.

Alberto Gonzales did not take reporters’ questions Monday after announcing his resignation.

Facing congressional investigations into a secret wiretapping program and the firing of eight prosecutors, U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced his resignation Monday after months of bipartisan calls for him to step down.

“The Justice Department has been essentially paralyzed for more than a year,” CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said. “If this administration wants to accomplish anything before President Bush’s term ends in 17 months, they need a credible attorney general.”
