Oops! Seems like more and more key Administration officials are stepping away from the heat.

After lying for a while, Bush-appointed Attorney General Alberto Gonzales finally stepped down after months of scrutiny regarding the government's illegal wiretapping and the strategic firing of US attorneys.

Who's next?

How about Dick Cheney?

U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigns

WACO, Texas: Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, whose tenure has been marred by controversy and accusations of perjury before Congress, has resigned. He is expected to announce the decision to reporters at 10:30 Eastern time this morning in Washington.
...
Bush repeatedly stood by Gonzales, an old friend and colleague from Texas, even as Gonzales faced increasing scrutiny for his leadership of the Justice Department, over issues including his role in the dismissals of nine United States attorneys late last year and whether he testified truthfully about the National Security Agency's surveillance programs.
...
Gonzales's resignation is the latest in a series of high-level departures that has reshaped the end of Bush's second term. Karl Rove, another of Bush's close circle of aides from Texas, stepped down two weeks ago.
