Did Gonzo call Bush, send him a letter or was the story just made up?

A senior administration official said today that Mr. Gonzales, who was in Washington, had called the president in Crawford, Tex., on Friday to offer his resignation. The president rebuffed the offer, but said the two should talk face to face on Sunday.

Mr. Gonzales and his wife flew to Texas, and over lunch on Sunday the president accepted the resignation with regret, the official said.

From NBC’s Pete Williams and Domenico Montanaro
A senior administration official says Gonzales' resignation was entirely his own decision. The official says Gonzales sent a letter to the president on Friday stating his intention to step down by mid-September but that the president did not accept it and instead invited Gonzales to Texas to talk about it.

Gonzales and his wife went to Crawford. The president and Gonzales talked Sunday and the president accepted, reluctantly, the official said.

1. Gonzo's key didn't open the office door this morning.
That's when he knew he had resigned.

2. Why if they could get this wrong- think of what other things they could get wrong
Before i just happily trusted the President and the Media but now I'm starting to question them!

6. Next friday when gonzo is asked about his resignation, he won't be able to recall that he resigned
And the ignorant trash who still think there are(were) WMD, that we will(?) be greeted as liberators, that bush is a christian, that Valerie Plame was a communist married to a traitor, will still think gonzo's lack of remembering things is just so cute.
