Republican officials operating at the behest of the White House have begun seeking a possible successor to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, whose support among GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill has collapsed, according to party sources familiar with the discussions.

I'm not.
George is a coward.
Print it large, I'll not apologize for it.
Yet another Republican cirular firing squad. They need to be reminded that THE DEMOCRATS are the enemy and stop this horse sh*t.
Not that anyone would know that...
All I keep hearing is how BUSH messed up...and Brownie didn't waste any time throwing Prs. Bush under the bus, especially to the Dems.
"...and agreed leaving was the best option to make sure we kept on the offensive"
Please educate me. How do you know this was his decision alone and not someone else who made it for him.
When I watched him publicly with Bush and Gates, he did not appear too happy. I saw him get a little choked up.
I did not stay home.
Yes, Jefferson's. Even Hassert had a cow.
I never said he was happy about it. I am certain he wasn't. But again, if the GOP would have understood the stakes of last election...and put their domestic politics aside (while we were at war)...this nation would be better off today (and SecDef Rumsfeld would still be in that position).
And now, Bush was out of the country, and in the midst of the real problems with the democrats over the war.
The last thing Bush needed was Gonzalez screwing up something as simple as answering the questions about why they fired a few prosecuters.
Gonzalez made a simple act of governance into a major distraction. It's not the first thing he messed up. The FBI totally circumventing procedures isn't completely his fault, but he's been promising that the FBI was under control, and it wasn't, and that broke the past two weeks as well.
We need a strong AG, and Alberto is NOT a strong AG.
Maybe we need Rudy Giuliani.
I don't really have an opinion on this one, but it sure seems that everyone here is more interested in blaming their usual enemies than anything else.
Right, you don't have an opinion. Sure.
And notice how, at the time, Pelosi was giving Jefferson the cold-shoulder despite CBC pressure. Now, however, the Democrats are so emboldened that just last week Pelosi was considering putting Jefferson on the Homeland Security Committee.
Jefferson alone should show the GOP what happens when they give in to Democratic demands.

Yes...isn't it ironic...that things like this happen when Pres. Bush is out of the country???
Seems like the minute he leaves...the Dems find SOME major catastrophe that he is responsible for...and then the MSM gets to embarrass and badger him during pressers in foreign countries..
I have never been a fan of AG either...and I think HE is responsible for this, because HE didn't tell the dems to butt out.....but, you sure wouldn't know it by reading this thread.
They can't get rid of this LaRaza-Lovin-open border-selective law enforcement puke fast enough for me.
This is a sad day. I can't wait to get Rudy into the White House. 2008 can't come fast enough for me. Guiliani is a street fighter who will give the Democrats "what for" if they try anything.
Will someone, ANYONE, in the Bush administration grow a pair!
Bravo! Bears repeating.
I hope the WH sees your comment!
Notice the lack of ethnic diversity! 9 out of 10 are Hispanic

IMHO, I believe they should have held their ground.
Their (dems) present strategy is to have investigation after investigation, hearing after hearing. Apply pressure and demand or force resignations or firings. (I wouldn't give them an inch)
Thanks for proving my very point.
"I fear the GOP is headed for a defeat of Biblical proportions in 2008, because they have turned people like me, their true base, off."
Apparently they've turned more than a few conservatives away too, if one is to look at the 2006 elections.
