Free to Make Ridiculous Money

Alas, poor Gonzo, we knew him too well.
On his final day, Mr. Gonzales told a crowd at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington that, since his AG tenure commenced 30 months ago, "I have seen tyranny, dishonesty, corruption and depravity of types I never thought possible."

That has got to be the best straight line ever offered up for a comedy duo in politics. You wanna be the one to add the punch?

Last month, when Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced he would resign effective Friday, The New York Times editorialized that the President Bush acolyte "has finally done something important to advance the cause of justice. He has resigned."

And that's the lead paragraph in the article which has a title that captured my fancy (which is why I chose Wired for my Gonzo retires post source): Amen: Mr. Gonzales Departs; He was 52
