President Bush often insists he has to be the decider — ignoring Congress and the public when it comes to the tough matters on war, terrorism and torture, even deciding whether an ordinary man in Florida should be allowed to let his wife die with dignity. Apparently that burden does not apply to the functioning of one of the most vital government agencies, the Justice Department.
Americans have been waiting months for Mr. Bush to fire Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who long ago proved that he was incompetent and more recently has proved that he can’t tell the truth. Mr. Bush refused to fire him after it was clear Mr. Gonzales lied about his role in the political purge of nine federal prosecutors. And he is still refusing to do so — even after testimony by the F.B.I. director, Robert Mueller, that suggests that Mr. Gonzales either lied to Congress about Mr. Bush’s warrantless wiretapping operation or at the very least twisted the truth so badly that it amounts to the same thing.[snip]
Democratic lawmakers are asking for a special prosecutor to look into Mr. Gonzales’s words and deeds. Solicitor General Paul Clement has a last chance to show that the Justice Department is still minimally functional by fulfilling that request.
If that does not happen, Congress should impeach Mr. Gonzales.

It seems that our “mainstream” newspaper editorial writers are all f***in’ idiots.
As much as I do not like the way Gonzales is doing his job, I still lament that Bush cannot make him a “super” AG just to irritate the Democrat party and the left in general.
And where were the NYTimes and the demented liberals when Janet Reno presided over the Waco massacre? They are the ones that call evil good and good evil. The Bible says they will not recognize a good thing when its staring them in the face. Pretty accurate I’d say.
That’s a big BINGO!
AG AG should throw J. Sutton under the bus, and then resign in favor of Sheriff Joe.
I don’t know if Gonzo is a good man or not but he clearly can’t express himself like an adult.
Ah dunno...the Rats are gonna have to impeach SOMEBODY before the next election......
Heh heh.
Who is that?
The best thing about Gonzales is that he will never be on the U.S. Supreme Court. The Texas Supreme Court was more than enough for his capabilities.
NYT is racist.
Funny you should mention that. Before I got gung-ho into politics, I used to wonder what kind of people would be so stupid as to buy-in to the lies the world will endure when the last days come. The anti-Christ will be a charismatic charmer that will fool almost everyone. I wondered how anyone could be so blatantly stupid and willingly evil. It seemed unimaginable at the time. And then I became ‘acquainted’ with leftist liberals. Now it all makes perfect sense.
No, Alberto Gonzales is an incompetent boob chosen on the basis of affirmation action. If he had the same resume and was named "Albert Smith", he would have never gotten near the AG office.
Spin it all you want. Facts are facts.
