Gonzo says he’s “sprinting to the finish line”, the guy apparently doesn’t know he’s not out of the woods yet.House Democrats announced that Gonzales’ deputy, Paul McNulty, who has announced his resignation, would testify June 19 about his role in the U.S. attorney firings. Gonzales last month said he relied on McNulty more than any other aide to decide which U.S. attorneys should be fired last year. But internal Justice Department documents showed that McNulty was not closely involved in picking all of those fired.

Bush and his cronies have taken stonewalling to a whole new level. Unfortunately, it’s going to reset the bar for all future administrations. This bit with Gonzales is the worst of it, IMO.

swap presidents…back to bill clinton, back when the republicans threatened janet reno with impeachment on a daily basis for next to nothing…

Then just imagine how they would have voted today.

What a bunch of hypocrites..

I’d be willing to keep the 12 million Mexicans if the Mexicans would take 1 George Bush. They may be poor but they ain’t stupid.

George didn’t sneak over the border, the Mexicans went uno dos tres and threw him over the Rio Grande.

Many Americans have been trying to throw him back ever since.

Any chance Bush sneaked over?

Jorge Arbusto sounds pretty hispanic to me.

The main point regarding Gonzales and Bush is that any reasonable AG would have resigned by now. Any reasonable president would have fired him had he not resigned.

Neither Gonzales nor Bush are reasonable.

Tom,

I agree. “It” is a much more accurate description of something that posts lies, and then posts more lies to support(sic) the original lies.

Not to mention the nic stealing, and switching.

Not a single Republican senator spoke in defense of Gonzales today. I’m not even sure any of them even mentioned his name. They talked about everything BUT Gonzales.

“Doesn’t really matter who supports or doesn’t support him, it is political and the democrats are just can’t get it right.”

Nonsense. The Republicans just didn’t have any cajones. Most have spoken out against Gonzo, but they didn’t have the nerve to vote for the vote of no confidence.

Contrary to what the Republicans would have us believe, these people work for us. We are the boss, not them. If Bush and Company would realize that, we would all be better off.

AG AG does not have the right or the authority to turn OUR Department of Justice into his own private Luca Brazzi.

This is our government – not George W Bushes.

The Democrats failed again, the no confidance vote was a bust. Doesn’t really matter who supports or doesn’t support him, it is political and the democrats are just can’t get it right.

“They can have their votes of no confidence, but it’s not going to make the determination about who serves in my government,” Bush said in Sofia, Bulgaria.

The key words here are “MY GOVERNMENT”.

Bush never has represented the people.

When did we switch to a parliamentarian government? ‘Cause otherwise a “no confidence” vote is just posturing.

Walk, Cosmos, walk on by…………. there is nothing to see here, just a bitter old man banging away at his keyboard hoping that someone will pay attention to him.

He has nothing, never had anything and never will have anything except his keyboard.

–”They can have their votes of no-confidence but it’s not going to make the determination about who serves in my government,” Bush said Monday.

Um. It’s not BUSH’S government. It’s OURS. This has been the problem all along. Hubris, and delusions of monarchical grandeur.–

That’s right, Tom, and it’s all by design. Google “unitary executive” and you’ll get the poeer-grab the Bush administration has been on since Day 1.

The AG is only doing his part in consolidating power under the “Unitary Executive” (Bush Monarchy) theory. Repukelican and others are only too happy to coronate Bush so he can start wars, hold foreigers in secret prisons, wiretap our phones, bankrupt the military, and teach children a new way to say “nuclear.”

“my government,” Bush said Monday.

Um. It’s not BUSH’S government. It’s OURS.”

Tom, you hit the nail on the head. Gonzales was OK as White House Counsel where his job was to be Bush’s lawyer. However, he carried that view to the AG office – that he is Bush’s lawyer instead of the People’s lawyer.

Nathan–How about twisting the arm of the Justice Department to authorize an unconstitutional program? Would that be wrong? As Presidential Advisor, probably not. As Attorney General, it’s like discovering that your Surgeon general is addicted to Oxy-Contin. It’s legal, yes…

Then’s there’s the little issue of having perjured himself (according to Goodling) giving sworn in front of the Senate Hearings Committee..

If he’s done nothing wrong, why have significant Republicans such as Arlen Specter and Lindsey Graham called for his resignation?
