Comments
Ill be short & frank. I actually this that its better for the Dems that the Bush Administration was too dumb to just get rid of him quick. What is the dismisser is how he changed his story several times. Based on that merit alone… he doesnt have the credibility to be attorney general, which is independent of the President’s Cabinent folks. In assessment… the bees will be rightfully buzzing around the hive’ and given Gonzales record, Im sure he’ll screw up again. Realistically, this is a ‘nail in the coffin’ of sorts to congressional republicans when you add “Gonzo” TO IRAQ. Whats that I hear??? It’s a veto proof Democratic congress in 08.

Alberto Gonzales’ political fate, depends on Bush, and Bush, ALONE can decide it!

Gonze is the disgrace to the America and American values. He should have resigned in the first place, his image and credibility is already damaged and beyond repair.
What a bunch of crooks Bushy, Cheny, Libby and now Gonze.
You’d think the guy murdered 76 people including 17 children? Yeah, he should be removed simply for the fact he isn’t worse than Reno.
Morons!
