Gonzo Hanging On Like A Tick On A Dog's Butt

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is still refusing to step down. An overwhelming number of Republicans and Democrats expressed their wish in Congress that he go, for the good of the nation, but her has selfishly refused. Many Americans in the public have expressed the same in blogs and newspapers as well.

So many across the board are expressing their lack of faith in his abilities and are concerned about his gross lack of credibility, yet he is putting his desires ahead of that of the nation. 

He is hanging on like a tick on a dog's butt.

How does he expect to do his job without the cooperation and confidence of Congress and the American people. You need to pull a Brownie and call it a day.

Because right now, with the Patriot Act abuses and the U.S. Attorney scandal, you have proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that you cannot be trusted to act impartially and do the right thing in the best interest of all Americans, Republican and Democrat. That's what this all boils down to.

"The attorney general's testimony was very, very damaging to his own credibility," said Senator Arlen Specter, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee on Sunday.

Anonymously, White House staff also expressed misgivings about keeping Gonzales on.

Newsweek's Michael Isikoff quoted an anonymous White House Adviser who "said the support reflected Bush's own view that a Gonzales resignation would embolden the Dems to go after other targets—like Karl Rove.

"This is about Bush saying, 'Screw you,'' said the adviser, conceding that a Gonzales resignation might still be inevitable," Isikoff added. "The trick, said the adviser, would be to find a graceful exit strategy for Bush's old friend." - Raw Story
