Hillary has already publicly said that she will purge the government of Bush “cronies”.

This is a partisan witchhunt and a show trial.

Like it or not, Bush should have known he’d be giving the Democrats ammunition if he fired attornies who hadn’t done anything criminally wrong and saying it was because of performance issues. These attornies apparently had zero loyalty to Bush in the first place, so of course they were going to cry to the media about big bad Bush firing them.

Yes. But has anyone in the administration or a Pubbie legislator said it that succinctly?

Yes, of course it is. Everybody has understood this from the beginning....

So WHY in God's name does the Bush Administration grab its ankles and play along, thereby answering the Democrats' wet dreams??

I have a feeling Dubya is watching the clock until he can retire to Crawford. He doesn't have the stomach for a fight anymore. The Democrats (with the help of their "mainstream" newsrooms) fabricate this 'fired attorneys' scandal and instead of laughing in the Democrats' faces and telling them to go play in the street - - "Nobody is testifying at your circus, your subpoenas are going straight into the trash can, and by the way I just fired five more US Attorneys because it's Thursday" - - Bush sends Gonzales off on an apology tour!

The whole thing makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

Political jujitsu: it keeps the Dems busy and unable to any real damage.

Nobody I know, and I mean NOBODY, is talking about this; nobody outside the Beltway and the MSM cares. Gonzales isn’t losing his job over this (not that he doesn’t need to be tossed for any number of legit reasons).

Me, I hope the hearings go on the rest of the year...

The REAL scandal with Gonzalez is his ignorance, incompetence and ineffectiveness.

To have given Sandy Burglar a pass, and have Jefferson from Louisiana who stored $90,000 in his freezer still on the street -— while two U.S. Custom Officers are in jail for shooting a smuggler and no member of the Administration has been tried for treason, leaking secrets, expionage or giving “aid and comfort” to the enemy......while Marines are in confinement for defending themselves in a fire fight after an ambush.

The country, Congress and the Bush Administration are all nuts...

Semper Fi

Agree.

His “selective law enforcement” modus operandi sucks.

Can’t give him the boot fast enough.

Definately agree with everything you said. Sandy Burglar should have gotten more time than Martha Stewart. Our Marines should have never seen the inside of a courtroom, and yes, “the powers that be” are all nuts.
