Take the Fifth, Then Get The Fuck Out

OMG, this is so, like, weird. Monica Goodling, who was senior counsel to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, pled the 5th whan asked to testify about the Gonzales Eight, and today she totally quit with a three-sentence resignation letter. (Did she think it was the Webbys?) From le BBC, since I can’t stomach a link to MSNBC until I’ve had at least five more happy hour drinks:

Monica Goodling, who was senior counsel to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, gave no reason for her abrupt decision.
Last month she rejected an interview request from a congressional committee investigating the sackings, invoking her right not to incriminate herself.
Mr Gonzales denies the sackings last year were politically motivated.
