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.

F----n' A!

Yep, he will be gone for sure. "Cut and Run" Republicans are scared of what the press will think of them. They also want to be loved by the Democrats so badly. But, sadly that love is doomed to not be returned...

[b4its2late]

I figured Bush would cave.

[Molly T.]

I couldn't agree more....I've been really sick of Gonzolas every time I read about him jumping when a Mexican gov. official calls and complains about our border guards etc.I can sure understand why this President put him in as A.G. Disgusting! I can't believe they are as ignorant as their actions would lead us to believe...that being said tho....I'm just as disgusted with this Pres. and Administration rolling over to every darned demand by the Dem's. I don't even recognize the man I voted for twice....and I feel betrayed.

I think this could be called giving the d(s) pound of flesh. Who's next?

You are so right. I have never understood the relationship of daddy Bush and B. Clinton. Then again I almost barfed last week when G. Bush praised Ted Kennedy as the man who could get the job of amnesty done. It was kinda like the Ditzy Chicks going to a foreign country and praising of all people Kennedy.

NO .. not Ashcroft ... thanks to him, Scooter is a felon.

Rush was absolutely right about Michael J. Fox. Had it not been the Dems year, it would have made no difference and I am not sure even now that it did. Talent barely won his first election and was not a particularly strong candidate. His opponent, Claire McCaskill, was very well known and quite popular statewide. She shamelessly exploited the stem cell issue because Talent has consistently expressed his opposition to stem cell research and the state conveniently had the issue on the ballot.

BTW, Rush only has one brother, David. He is a well-known columnist and author and I seriously doubt that he was a candidate for the Missouri State Supreme Court last November.

Rush's uncle (and/or cousin) is a judge, I believe.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Sorry, Steven Limbaugh is Rush's uncle. And that still shows the reaction toward the name. Take a look at the Missouri election results for Supreme Court justices, if you don't believe me.

And you want to tell me Claire McCaskill was a strong candidate??? Pfffffft.

2% was all that was needed, not only for Talent's seat, but to keep the Senate. Thanks for nuttin, Rush.

Will someone, ANYONE, in the Bush administration grow a pair!

It's far too late for that. From now on, it will just be one roll over after another as it limps towards the finish line.

The Bush Presidency will go out with a wimper, not a bang.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

When's Bush going to get a clue. The more time and energy he spends on trying to make them like him, the more they hate him. He's such a wuss.

POST OF THE YEAR!

And I've been saying that to myself all week.

Disregarding the actual real weapons, there is NO difference between the Rats and the terrorists, and the manner in which they must both be dealt .. period!

"Is Alberto one of the key players in seeing that the border guards were locked up for interfering with Mexican drug smugglers crossing the border? Maybe the Democrats are simply using this for political hay as Republicans siding with Americans are battling the Bush Mexicana endgame. Let the Democrats have their field day. It's better to start taking out the internationalists in the Republican party."

You have nailed this one to the wall.

Gonzo is in up to his eyeballs with Johnny Boy Sutton.

The last thing the White House wants at the moment is a thorough proctological exam. One never knows where THAT may lead.

[savedbygrace]

From the article:

Under this scenario, Chertoff's successor at the Department of Homeland Security might be Townsend, who now works in the White House as assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism. Townsend held senior Justice Department posts under Attorney General Janet Reno during the Clinton administration and is also a potential nominee for attorney general.

Sheesh. That sux.

Here you go. Here is a link to the Missouri Supreme Court Election Results. There was a reason that people voted against Steven Limbaugh versus the other judges. Now, are you going to tell me this had nothing to do with belittling and mocking Michael J. Fox?

[Caribou]

It's time for us to join the fight and run for political office. Instead of wishing for the current roll-overs to do it for us, we will have to jump in and correct the ship.

"LET'S ROLL" has been changed to "LET'S ROLL-OVER"

[Letaka]

Immigration, Gonzales, Immigration, and Immigration. It's all disappointing.

[Txsleuth]

I don't know, STAR...

I really can see Cheney getting his shotgun loaded and locked as we speak.

LOL
