Gonzales' departure not fall from grace-Navarrette

[Joanie Baloney]

Hard to believe he still has supporters, but yet, he does.

Some snippets:

Still, Gonzales admitted that he made mistakes concerning the U.S. attorneys.

“I could have been more involved and should have been more involved,” he said.

“I did those early press conferences,” he said, “and there were things that were said that, going over the documents, turned out not to be true, like . . . the Nov. 27 meeting (on the firings) which I had no recollection of. So, when you ask if there is anything that I would have done differently, yes, I would have told the press: 'Guys, I'm sorry. I'm not going to answer any questions about what happened because I don't recall and I don't know.' ”

Lastly, I asked the man who made history how he wanted history to remember him. He answered quickly, as if he had given the subject some thought.

“As someone who did the best he could based on what was right and what was just,” he said. “I think that's the most that anyone can hope for.”

Fall from grace? Hardly. Just a graceful exit.

Graceful??!! Un-fucking-believable!

1. yep, no disgrace here.

Gonzales didn't leave in disgrace, nor did Rove, nor Rumsfeld, nor Ashcroft, not even Scooter Libby. Right? Jeez.
