No, you didn't say that. Others here made the "no guts" comment.
If he came out swinging, the MSM would crucify him as "flailing wildly about", "shaken", "grasping at straws". GWB cannot win this media war by himself, and people here keep donating ammo to the enemy.
Hardly, Gonzales in his zeal to show Mexico his loyalty to that corrupt state has used used Federal Swat Teams to affect the arrest of Dog Chapman and those two Border Patrol guys.
If you knew anything about the criminal justice system, you would recognize just how outrageous this is.
While I totally support the President's right to hire and fire US Attorneys, Gonzales' departure is long overdue
Personally, I suspect the President is unaware of how these actions by Gonzales make him look like a stooge of the Mexican gub'erment.
But I for one will be tickled to see Gonzales being walked out the door by security, carrying all of his awards from La Raza and all the other racist groups.
Gonzales has shown where his heart is. He has brought embarrassment to his boss, now it's time to go.
If Bush is so slow on the uptake to recognize how Gonzales' actions have hurt him, then he too needs to find new employment.
You're right that, at this point especially, the MSM would portray Bush as "flailing wildly," etc., if he dared to trash the Rats. One reason why he should have attacked the Rats all along in this administration, once they started going viciously after him. In politics, if you suddenly start doing something you haven't been doing before, it looks like you're either desperate or cynically pandering.
