While Sen. Bill Nelson wasn't exactly sad that Alberto Gonzales is on his way out, Sen. Mel Martinez stood by the attorney general. Here's what Martinez had to say:
"Alberto Gonzales is an honorable man whose life history speaks volumes about what’s best about America. General Gonzales has a long history of public service, first in the U.S. Air Force, later as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas, then as counsel to the President and ultimately serving as Attorney General of the United States.
“Alberto Gonzales has conducted himself always with honesty, dedication and integrity. He is my friend and he is a good man. He and his family have my thanks for their sacrifice for serving during difficult times, and my best wishes for the future.”
