Pretty much is a PR release, the UK telegraph is trying to make the Bushies look as corrupt as Chirac was, won’t happen of course, Gonzalez may be a moron, but he did nothign illegal, and who exactly are the “6 administration officials have resigned?”
And yes this crap still matters, Yes we are backstabbed on the border, yes amnesty sucks, but if we wish that no Republican in the post Bush era gets elected for quite sometime, the let’s let Bush free fall and drag the few Conservative Republicans down with him.
Grow up.
I don’t disagree with you. Gonzalez is a lousy Attorney General, another instance of Bush choosing an unqualified person just because he is a personal friend, but now we are stuck with him until the end of Bush’s presidency, because there’s no way the Democrats will let Bush appoint a decent replacement. And that was how Watergate got started, with the Dems forcing out the AG and replacing him with one of their own.
Bush’s amnesty and his behavior toward the base is frankly dreadful, but he is President until his term is up, so our only choice is to try to pressure him and everyone in congress not to pass the damned thing.
In the meantime, we still have to support him against these partisan attacks, and try to hold things together as well as we can.
