I am at a loss for words.

I can see that this guy is a lawyer who is shy!

I'm sure it has been pointed out but the other piece of good news regarding this event is that he won't be nominated to fill a vacant Supreme Court seat.

This scandal is the biggest fake-job since Michael Jackson's marriage. Here’s how Bush should handle it. Tell the press he may fire Gonzalez and announce something important, then say:

"I have spoken with AG Gonzales. I am not happy with his answers to Congress, and with what administration officials have said to the Congress and public. Although prior statements were true, but have been misinterepreted by members of Congress for political partisan reasons, they are not the bottom-line that needs to be made clear … What we should have been saying all along is that the Attorneys serve as a part of the Justice Dept and that these positions are determined through internal hiring processes. Attempts are made to obtain Senate approval for positions but we have the legal right to fill positions as needed to execute the laws and carry out Federal policies. The decisions we made in these processes were appropriate, ethical, legal, and fully within the proper scope of the executive branch. There is no need for Congress to investigate these internal decisions because they are wholly executive branch matters, and to engage in political witch hunt over our internal decisions is to fray our Constitutional separation of powers. I will resist the Democrat Congresses’ assault on the Constitution should they continue in this unwarranted attack, and I will keep Mr Gonzalez to help in defending our Constitution and laws."



But if they looking for a replacement, try this one - bring back John Ashcroft!

Another morsel to feed the beast. This should fill him up, fer sure.

"Mike Allen is the chief political correspondent for Politico. He comes to us from Time magazine where he was their White House correspondent. Prior to that, Allen spent six years at The Washington Post, where he covered President Bush's first term, Capitol Hill, campaign finance, and the Bush, Gore and Bradley campaigns of 2000. Before turning to national politics, he covered schools and local governments in rural counties outside Fredericksburg, Va., for The Free Lance-Star, then wrote about Doug Wilder, Oliver North, Chuck Robb and the Bobbitts for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, where he nurtured police sources on overnight ride-alongs through housing projects. Allen also covered Mayor Giuliani, the Connecticut statehouse and the wacky rich of Greenwich for The New York Times. Before moving to The Times, he did stints in the Richmond and Alexandria bureaus of The Washington Post. Allen grew up in Orange County, Calif., and has a B.A. from Washington and Lee University, where he majored in politics and journalism."

I am skeptical about the source. I recall reading his articles while at the WP. He has a liberal agenda.

Here's what's going on with the base.
Randomly pick any post and you'll find excellent advice.

Gonzales should have come out swinging at the beginning of this -- citing what Clinton did and saying what they were doing was on a much lesser scale -- and left the performance thing out of it.

The dims won't be satisfied with just Gonzales. They will then go after Rove.

(They already hit the Vice President's office.)

Then Bush.

Come on guys, stand up and fight!

The Liberals have played a poisonous political game where perspective becomes the reality. Conservatives will lose a great deal if they do not find a way to save this AG. Not only will the witch hunt not end it will increase until Joe America thinks Conservatives are all evil wrongdoers. ....

ping. It's sort of anti-Bush, so just a warning.

[CDHart]

Even Rush, yesterday, said he was totally flummoxed by the actions of Bush, constantly backing down from these people. Said he just could not understand it.

For those who missed it, Rush's segment yesterday:

Chuck Schumer and the Stalinist Democrats are trying to end the Bush presidency and grab power. Why won't the White House fight back?

Let's see, who will the Dems go after next in this spineless administration? Condi?

Why not just use a recess appointment?

GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill have absolutly no balls at all.
