Furor over fired attorneys hastened Paul McNulty's decision to leave

Nutha incompetent robo-crony down.

Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty said Monday he will resign, the highest-ranking Bush administration casualty in the furor over the firing of U.S. attorneys.

Anyone surprised? Exactly how many Bu$hies have resigned since his tenure? I've seriously lost count.

McNulty testified in February that at least one of the fired prosecutors was ordered to make way for a protégé of Karl Rove, President Bush’s chief political adviser. Gonzales, who has resisted lawmakers’ calls to resign, maintains the firings were proper and rooted in the prosecutors’ lackluster performances.

He obviously knows information that he should be handing over. But resigning relieves him of any responsibility of doing the right thing. Pretty much the mantra of the Bu$h MISadministration.
