[MaineDem]

PORTLAND, Maine — Maine´s congressional delegation on Monday expressed relief that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales decided to step down.

Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe, who suggested it was long overdue, Gonzales´ decision was "appropriate, necessary and I believe in the best interest of our nation."

"The resignation today of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales comes well after the American people had lost confidence in his ability to continue serving in his capacity as head of the Justice Department," Snowe said in a statement.

Likewise, Republican Sen. Susan Collins described the resignation as "a positive step forward" for the Justice Department. "Attorney General Gonzales´ ability to lead the Department of Justice had been undermined by his serious errors in judgment and conflicting statements," Collins said in a statement.

Oh, Susan, please!

I love what Michaud said: "Both Mr. Gonzales and his predecessor, John Ashcroft, leave a legacy of working all too often for political gain and to restrict the rights and freedoms of Americans, rather than protecting them," Michaud said.
