Here's something ironic...

Having lost the support of the White House and the GOP side of the Capital, Gonzales is on the way out. Which is great news in itself. But then the Politico explains why:

A main reason Gonzales is finding few friends even among Republicans is that he has long been regarded with suspicion by conservatives who have questioned his ideological purity. In the past, these conservatives warned the White House against nominating him for the Supreme Court. Now they're using the controversy over the firing of eight federal prosecutors to take out their pent-up frustrations with how he has handled his leadership at Justice and how the White House has treated Congress.

Complaints range from his handling of immigration cases to his alleged ceding of power in the department to career officials instead of movement conservatives.

Career officials instead of kids fresh out of Heritage! Blasphemy! It turns out that Abu just wasn't hackish enough and so he has to go.
