Sorry about the little hiatus, life caught up with me once again. And fortunately I haven’t missed any bombshells, but I have missed the growing wave of senators who agree that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should step down. Three more GOP senators have joined in, and they’re some power players.

“We have to have an attorney general who is candid and truthful. And if we find out he’s not been candid and truthful, that’s a very compelling reason for him not to stay on,” said Sen. Arlen Specter, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees the Justice Department.

…

To Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., Gonzales “does have a credibility problem. … We govern with one currency, and that’s trust. And that trust is all important. And when you lose or debase that currency, then you can’t govern. And I think he’s going to have some difficulties.”

…

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Gonzales has been “wounded” by the firings. `He has said some things that just don’t add up,” said Graham, who is on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Naturally this is ignoring the number of Democrats. My question to the world at large is: who in the White House hasn’t been wounded? Who doesn’t have a credibility problem? Among Bush, Rove, Rice, Cheney, Gonzales, who doesn’t have glaring credibility problems? The whole administration is rife with corruption.

As much as I enjoy seeing an arm of the starfish get cut off, as long as the center remains the limbs will regrow.
