Gonzales’ grammatically incorrect farewell.

The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank looks at the fitting departure of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales:

From “good morning” to “God bless America,” he spoke for all of one minute and 41 seconds — during which he managed to consult his written statement 26 times and to avoid saying a single word about the roiling scandals that finally forced him to quit. He entered the Justice Department conference room with a grin and departed without taking any of the questions shouted at his back:

“Why are you leaving?”

“Why now?”

“Why did you deny the resignation?”

Neither were the questions answered by Gonzales’s resignation letter, which the White House released later — complete with a grammatical error in the second sentence.
