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 agree on those two, plus he should have stepped into the Duke case, IMO.
But it's WRONG to feed them this big of a fish, IMO.
Don't do drugs or you too could end up being elected to Congress. What a bunch of obnoxious buffoons.
Agreed. He should have been gone over the border agents and "Dog" Chapman sellouts to Mexico. OUR way. On OUR terms. But not like this.
"You're right; Bush has had absolutely NO backing since the day he took office from the "we're always running" Republicans"
That is SO TRUE!
Look at that stupid HAVA voting law. It was a move to calm the storm of Dems screaming..."Bush did not really win".
And Congressional Republicans...yes...even Dick Armey...caved like a deck of cards.
I have a different opinion, which is that Bush has wrongly appointed people who reflects his pro-big government views. I believe that the problem is with President Bush himself, who is a liberal in conservative clothing.
For sure.
It's the worst feeding frenzy I have seen in my lifetime.
And they're getting "fed" on a regular basis.
Truth be told, Gonzales never should have got the job in the first place. He's like Harriet Miers II, except he got the job. This is another embarrassment of Bush's own making, sorry to say - a result of his complete inability to cope with the media's phony scandal generation machine.
But in your world we should never be permitted to ever criticize any President.
I hope you have fun, with your mouth shut, during the H. Clinton era.
Bush has had absolutely NO backing since the day he took office from the "we're always running" Republicans.
The panel addressed that too...they said no Repub will come out and defend Gonzales or the WH on this.....damn
HOOOOOONK!!!
Very true. They think by throwing Al to the wolves...it will stop.
REPUBLICANS HAVE BECOME IDIOTS.
HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO GET BEATEN LIKE MIKE TYSON'S WIFE BEFORE YOU LEARN TO DUCK AND SWING BACK????

The one silver lining is that 'Berto probably won't get the nod for an SC opening, should another occur.
Maybe US Attorney Sutton has earned high enough marks with his successfully prosecuting those protecting our borders that he will get the nod to replace 'Berto.
[I wouldn't be surprised at anything this WH tries any more.]
George Allen is the former Senator (apologized too much himself). He is not the writer for Politico.whatever. Politico is just another wing of the Washington Post and now they have another seat in the White House Press room.
Stevens might retire this summer and this way Gonzales will be completely removed from any SCOTUS short list.
I understand that a veteran prosecutor, Mike Nifong, from Durham, North Carolina, will shortly be seeking another job.
Appointing a Democrat to replace Gonzales would be a good way to show impartiality, while his most famous remark, "Evidence? We don't need no stinkin' evidence!" will be a tonic to prosecutors everywhere...
This is almost becoming some kind of comic tragedy. If I were the Dems I would be howling at how easy this has become for them.
