I don’t think this counts as an outright call for resignation — put it in the growing number of Republican “I’m on my last nerve” statements — but at least it’s straightforward:

U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa said Wednesday he was “outraged” that executive branch officials recently gave a congressional hearing misleading and inaccurate testimony based on information that both the Department of Justice and the White House knew to be untrue.

“We can soft-pedal it a lot of ways, but Congress was lied to,” Issa, R-Vista, said in a Wednesday phone interview from his Washington office….

He said that if Attorney General Alberto Gonzales had any role in false information being given to Congress, “he should not be able to continue in his job.”
