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.

The noose around Gonzo is tightening, and BushCo are digginin their heels. Me, I’m sitting back sipping a lemonade, enjoying this unfold in sweet slo-mo action.

i love barney! barney’s the only one in the administration i admire! he’s da bomb!
Electrode Al’s own counsel must plead the fifth. I think we know all we need to know right there.
The smirking little punk doesn’t need to just lose his job-he needs to go do some time in one of those “quaint” secret detention facilities he and his monkey boss are so fond of setting up.
I like that nickname. Electrode Al. I also heard “Torture Memo” Al. Both of ‘em are pretty good.
I’m with you, skippy. Barney’s good by my account. Though I can’t help but wonder if he REALLY supports Bush and the war or if he just says that to keep face.
