It's depressing that we've come to the point that we don't know what these reports mean. I used to think of Bush as a "his word is his bond" kind of guy. Now I am confused.

I'm not the biggest Bush fan in the world, but I'm getting sick of people dumping on him for this. The fract is, Gonzales is a lousy Attorney General and he screwed up. Bad. Pres. Bush should not use one bit of his political capital covering for him.

This is good news. The White House didn't have to leak this info if it didn't want to. The question is will Gonzales resign anyway. He saw what happened to Scooter Libby and maybe he wants to avoid that fate.

I didn't think that President Bush would throw his friend overboard. They are old friends from Texas and Gonzales helped President Bush tremendously with that DUI thing. You just don't abandon friends like that in their time of need.

Every now and then somebody posts about the President's political capital and I wonder when the hell he is going to start using it. It just seems that at some point you have to start using it and stop letting the socialists have their way.
