Gonzales isn't going anywhere

No matter how bad things get, Gonzales isn't going anywhere. Here's Bush today:

CRAWFORD, Texas -President Bush insisted on Monday that embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales still has his support and denounced Democratic plans for a no-confidence vote as "pure political theater."

"He has done nothing wrong," Bush said in an impassioned defense of his longtime friend and adviser during a news conference at his Texas ranch.

Of course, he's done nothing wrong in Bush's eyes because he's done exactly what Bush ordered him to do. You don't really think Gonzales has any independent judgment, do you?

Bush can't let Gonzales go because then the whole fabric of lies will start to unravel, and Bush will be seen to be behind every corrupt act this government has undertaken. Many of us can already see that (in fact some of us have been able to see that from the very beginning), but the press still looks the other way and will continue to do so until the smoking gun is cocked and aimed at their heads.

The only way to get rid of Gonzo is to impeach him, and that isn't going to happen unfortunately.
