Amid bipartisan calls for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' resignation in a scandal over dismissals of eight federal prosecutors, the White House said Monday, “We hope he stays.” When asked if Gonzales will serve for the rest of President Bush's term, White House press secretary Tony Snow said, “Well, we hope so.”

With such warm backing,I hope 'Berto can get find a box to pack his stuff before the other shoe drops!
Strong words. The iron will of W is on display yet again. What is it about domestic politics that turns him into talc?
I hear a knife twisting.
I find Hillary!08 to be unimaginative and manipulative by supporting Gonzales' resignation and urging her supporters to get on the bandwagon.
If the WH supports our troops the way it supports other Republicans, OMG we are all gonna die.
What kind of a half assed show of support is that? WE hope so??? Good grief...
“We hope he stays.”
HEY, WHITE HOUSE!! HEY GW!!
(As Rush would say...) GROW SOME ONIONS AND QUIT TAKING LIB CRAP!!!! KICK SOME LIBERAL BUTT!!
One good thing for Mr Gonzales...if he resigns he can move to Mexico City. Then his paychecks won't take so long to get to him anymore.
As I've said before, I think he's been a lousy attorney general, and I'll be glad to see the last of him. But it would be too bad if Bush were seen to fire him because the Democrats were on his case.
At least this hopefully disqualifies him as a candidate for SCOTUS.
Why doesn't President Bush simply state "executive branch", "been done before", "thousand points of light", then move on?
Who knows. He follows the GOP's lead and turns gutless when the Times gets snotty.
The same thing that made him a two-time loser in business even with his incredible family connections. The guy is all hat and no cattle. Always has been. Many of us screamed as much in 2000, but what could one do? Vote for McCain? We haven't had a decent choice for President since Reagan.

I have mixed feelings on this.
I would be HAPPY to see Gonzales kicked into the dustbin of history - a total mediocrity whose sole qualification for office was his support of Bush's illegal alien toleration policies. BETTER YET, I'd like to see Gonzales sharing a cell with those three border guards he persecuted.
On the other hand, unless something we don't know about is going on behind the scenes here, why doens't Bush tell the Dems to go screw themselves, that Federal Attorneys serve at HIS pleasure and nobody else's, and invoke Presidential privilege to DIRECT Rove and Miers to ignore the
Robespierre wing of Congress?
Supposedly one or more were let go for refusing to investigate voter fraud in their districts.
I agree. They don't stand up to the msm and the rats. This is one trait I believe that Rudy, Duncan Hunter and possibly Fred Thompson have.
I'm not sure about Romney. I know that McQueeg and Hagel would bow down to the press. We need someone that will stand up to these guys.
Gonzales:open borders lapdog
