I respect Alen Specter (R) a great deal and would probably vote for him if in his district...just because he seems an honest man and a patriot....Specter wanted him gone as well...google it

I have a feeling that he wasn't that important and wasn't around long enough. There have been too many people coming and going lately that it would take up too much space to include all of the mess of the Bush administration.
He will be forgotten. To be honest, I don't thing that history will be kind to Bush, but in the long run I don't think they will write to much about his. He will sort of be footnote in history. Worst president we have had. Got us into a bad war. Did nothing to get us out.

Since Republicans wanted him gone, history won't say he was targeted by the left.
Since he rushed to the hospital of a very sick man to try to strong arm him into violating the law, history won't say he was honorable.
Since he argued that we had not right to Habaeus Corpus, even tho it's in the Constitution, history will not argue he was very bright.
Since he participated in firing attorneys, and lied about it, not because of the normal firings that occur at the beginning of presidential terms, but because the attorneys would not play political games, which was confirmed in Senate testimony by his aides, history will not be kind to him.
They will bother, as history will note that this monsterous criminal sat at the pinnacle of law enforcement in America and endorsed torture and the illegal wiretapping of American citizens, all while laughing in Congress' face while they tried to conduct oversight.
He will be remembered as Bush's consigliere.

He didn't know the difference between being the president lawyer and the lawyer for the people if the USA. Maybe he left office to spy on his own family

Gonzales isn't more than a blip - he'll be gone and forgotten. If anything is said, it will be that he was a nice guy but weak.
The US Attorney "scandal" isn't a scandal at all, it's partisan politics over nothing, writ large by the leftist mainstream news media.

He will go down in history as the first hispanic AG and also as a crooked scumball who deserves to die in prison.

I'm sorry to say history will probably call him an honorable man but weak in nature. He should have stood firm, said the president had every right to hire and fire the individuals in question, and that he was not resigning.

They will say that he was just one of many of George W. Bush's puppets.
