Alberto Gonzales the man that was at the center of so much badness in the Bush Administration is/has stepped down. President Bush has spoken in support of Alberto since the beginning of the various scandals. Glenn Greenwald, who is coming to Asheville on September the 13th, has a great post on him. Glenn rightly states that the Democrats have an opportunity to say that they are not going to accept neocon, yes men from Bush any more.

Michael Vick who really has nothing to do with Alberto Gonzales threw himself on the mercy of the American people in his first press conference since the dogfighting allegations surfaced. He stated that he was immature and that he was sorry. Immature doesn't really cover it but at least it is a start.

I'll more on these stories later.

Update: Video added for Vick. You know I was sort of with Michael during this speech. His excuse for not being able to say what he wants to say was that he has been a football player. What? He made enough money to hire his personal speech coach but it wasn't a priority. And, I'm sorry, but the worst part of the cliche was that he has turned over his life to God. These athletes always seem to find God once they are in the soup up to their eyeballs. The worst part of the sappiest speech of all-time was the children. Yep, he hated that he let down the children. Oh, please. He hated that he got caught. I know that the speech had to be done. It was just nauseating.
