Alberto Gonzales Cleaning Out His Desk?

Looks like it.

Republican officials operating at the behest of the White House have begun seeking a possible successor to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, whose support among GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill has collapsed, according to party sources familiar with the discussions.

Politico floats some possible replacements. I think Ted Olson, he of Clinton conspiracy infamy, is a no-go with a Democratic congress.

    Olson’s wife Barbara died aboard one of the 9/11 planes, so do you think the Bush Administration will try to exploit 9/11 again in selling him to a reluctant Congress?

    Then maybe Bush should fire him. Clearly he’s “displeased.”
