Likely next step: Because Congress is not in session, Bush can make a "recess appointment" that allows him to put whoever he wants in the job without being confirmed by the Senate. Funny how so many resignations in the Bush admin have happened while the Senate is on vacation.

Likely person to be the next Attorney General: Michael Chertoff - also the current Secretary of Homeland Security, the person mainly responsible for the federal government's Katrina response, and the former supervisor of Michael "Heckuva Job" Brown.

Awesome.
