hat will it take and how soon will it be before President Bush decides "enough already"; when, at last, he admits to losing faith in the Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales?
The nation knows, the press is convinced, and members of Congress in growing numbers concur; what will it take?
As a growing number of Republicans show their displeasure and line up against A.G.Gonzales, the President's loyalty to his long-time Texas buddy is becoming yet another self-destructive aspect to this presidency. Here's a chief executive who needs all the friends he can get, but this one is hurting his presidency.
The more one hears from the testimony that the attorney general gave before the Senate, the more that he appears that the man is a negligent manager who appears to know very little about the workings of his own department. He really sounds incompetent, or is he extremely bright and duplicitous?
Or, possibly, every word he uttered was carefully phrased to avoid perjury, while hiding the real story.
We now know that the prosecutor firings are part of a larger scandal involving Karl Rove's efforts to turn the justice department into a partisan weapon. Or am I too cynical?
