Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn Tells Gonzales to Resign

Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn wants Attorney General Alberto "Gonzo" Gonzales to resign for the good of the country. Well, Dr. Tom, why don't you show him the way. Why the Sooner State sent you to Washington is a mystery. But what do we expect from people who are also represented by James Inhofe?-Jake

From Faux News:

WASHINGTON — A Republican senator told Alberto Gonzales he should resign over his role in the firing of eight U.S. attorneys as the attorney general sat in the hot seat before a panel of senators on Thursday.

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., urged Gonzales to take the fall for the mishandling of the firings.

"I believe you (Gonzales) ought to suffer the consequences and think best way to put this behind us is with your resignation," Coburn said.

Gonzales responded: "I don't think that is the best way to go forward."

Republican Sens. John Sununu and Gordon Smith have also called on Gonzales to resign.

Gonzales, excoriated by Democrats and some Republicans, is up on Capitol Hill to explain the decisions behind and his role in the firing of the eight attorneys last December.
