Welcome to Gonzales Watch - Blawging the Ex-Attorney General

Continuing his nearly week-long Red state meetings with U.S. attorneys to tout the DOJ’s new ad campaign focusing on the dangers of child predators, Gonzales is in Houston this morning meeting the U.S. Attorney Donald DeGabrielle, Jr. and others.

But some parts of Houston have already sent the U.S. Attorney General a loud and clear message, telling him to resign over the U.S. Attorney firings controversy.

That is the crux of a well-time column by the Houston Chronicle’s Cragg Hines this morning.  Titled “Why Gonzales should be shown the exit very soon,” Hines has a few hard-hitting observations for the AG when he reads his the Chron this morning:

Either Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is lying or his Justice Department was running amok on its own.

In either case, Gonzales should be sent on his way.

Hines says that Gonzales’ resignition is “overdue.”
