Gonzo Gone-Zo? Maybe so

Ooh, they're buzzing like busy bees through the Democratic offices on Capitol Hill. Since Dubya's hand-picked prosecutors didn't bust on Democrats for voter fraud as quickly as he wanted, some of them were among the eight canned for management issues, or whatever the excuse of the day is from Tony Snow.

So either the prosecutors were diligently taking their time in assembling cases in the best interests of the White House, or they were foot-dragging traitors who forgot just who put them in their jobs.

That's politics. Now the Democratic donkeys are braying for blood...
In a nine-minute news conference at the Justice Department's Washington headquarters, Gonzales brushed aside suggestions that he step down and blamed his chief of staff for failing to keep him informed of the dismissals. The firings, which Gonzales said were appropriate, have provoked an outcry from Democrats who have likened them to a political purge.
Yep, that loud thumping sound you're hearing was the body of that chief of staff being tossed under the bus...
Kyle Sampson, Gonzales's chief of staff who was responsible for carrying out the firings, quit last night. The attorney general said today that Sampson failed to keep officials at the department properly informed about the process, leading Gonzales and others at the agency to provide inaccurate information to Congress.
The last time I heard someone prominent saying "mistakes were made" was the last time I played Simpsons Skateboarding as Homer.

What concerns me is if Gonzales resigns, Bush will appoint someone even more radical. I thought Ashcroft was bad, but then we got Torture Boy in his place.

I would hardly call Gonzales or Ashcroft radical. At least they are competent...remember the previous administrations stellar AG?? Janet Reno???? We took Kabul and Baghdad in less time than she took Waco. She was completely unqualified for the job.
