50. Yeah. Exactly.
It was time for all admin employees who were leaving to go ahaed and leave. So he left. Rove left first. Tony Snow is leaving. This is not about Gonzales being 'forced' out. He was embarrassed, but he wasn't forced out of anything.

If none of this had happened, its likely he would have left at the same time.

In any event, even forcing out the AG wouldn't be a fair trade-off for standing up to Bush.
