Big news this morning:

Embattled U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned, senior administration officials told CNN Monday.

Many lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have long called for his ouster after the firing of several U.S. attorneys in 2006. President Bush had long stood by Gonzales.

One of Gonzales’ chief critics, Sen. Charles E. Schumer released a statement Monday praising Gonzales for resigning.

Michelle Malkin isn’t shedding any tears and appears to have little hope when it comes to the current administration’s political maneuvering:

If the administration learned anything at all from the shamnesty debacle, Michael Chertoff would not be the leading candidate to replace Gonzales.

Can we even be sure that Harriet Miers isn’t in the running for this one?
