Reid Must Resign
Attacking Alberto Gonzales is like clubbing a baby seal. He's weak. He was always weak. He was weak when he served as White House counsel. He was weak when he was confirmed by the Senate for attorney general. And he was weak during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday. Now, before there was Gonzales, there was John Ashcroft. He was always strong. He was strong when he served in the Senate. He was strong when he was confirmed by the Senate for attorney general. And he was strong when he testified before the 9/11 Commission. They said he had to go because he was strong.
Everyone knows what's going on here. The Democrats, who started this, want Gonzales's head on a stake as another supposed example of administration of corruption. They want the public to believe that the firing of these eight U.S. attorneys is the equivalent of Watergate. These are the same Democrats who defended Janet Reno to the end despite real malfeasance, including the Elian Gonzales disaster, the WACO massacre, and the deadly expansion of the legal wall between the CIA and FBI. In comparison, Gonzales is Oliver Wendell Holmes. But Republicans have had enough of him. They see him as incapable of defending himself, let alone advancing a conservative agenda. And they hope to replace him with someone more to their liking, which will never happen given this Senate. In the big scheme, none of this matters, and the public could care less. The president’s rating aren’t affected by this. This is an inside-the-beltway manufactured scandal.
(By the way, I say this as someone who has never been impressed with Gonzales, Harriet Miers, and so many of the people the president holds close.)

Gonzales?
There is a slow motion coup in progress folks.
Great one ping?
Yep....who’s after Gonzalez? Rove, of course is a target, but I’ll bet McConnell is on the list too....
Resign Reid resign!
He can’t resign, he needs his staff to change his wet diaper.
What a traitor and POS this coward is to be left in office.
Thank you.
“Get out of the Senate, you big dope!”
“Rather than join the chorus demanding Gonzales’s resignation, let me be the first to demand Reid’s resignation. And let’s see how many pundits, conservative and otherwise, will join me.”
Senator Reid is a disgrace to all Americans that have defended this country. Throw the bum out!
I’d say its the exact opposite. Consider the lower than normal turnover in this administration even including those you just named.
Its negligible when compared to other administrations, both GOP or Dem.
As for Scotter Libby, he made the mistake of thinking the reporters were available for co-opting. His mistake was talking to them in the first place. If the Whitehouse wanted to discredit the laughable Joey Plame, they should have done it via the Press Secretary, in a press briefing, not behind the scenes.
Don’t misunderstand this, what was done to Libby was a travesty, and he should have been immediately pardoned by the President. But the fact is he misjudged completely his personal relationship with the media, and they crucified him for that mistake.
Drop dead, Harry. You’re a walking traitorous ghoul anyway, voting to pass the law banning partial birth infanticide, then complaining when the subpreme court doesn’t toss it out! What a bastard he proves to be, a seditious bloody bastard climbing over the bodies of children he has help slaughter in service to the dnc ‘empowerment through abortion’ scheme.
Just Dingy Harry? Add Leaky Leahy, Turban Durbin, the swimmer, Skerry and a few more.
Gonzales submits his resignation and the President nominates Ann Coulter as the new AG. It would be worth it for the confirmation hearings - Chuck Schumer’s head would explode!
Reid needs to go, but there are 99 other wind bags that I wouldn’t either.
They only read the ones from Nevada. You might try contacting him through the Demoratic Nat. Committee, but I doubt it would do any good.
Aw....Reid’s people would just delete any negative e-mails.
I e-mailed Mitch McConnell last night, and asked him to demand Reid’s resignation..
I think this has to be “groundswell” type thing...where we get in touch with OUR Congresspeople (which I did)...and the media brings it up...like Mark did.
PING

Our senate would best be donated to some 3rd world hell hole country. For them our senate might be a slight improvement.
