well... I think there will be some who will be clammoring for ol' Gonzo to be disbarred... especially if any of the crap sticks to his shoes...

You mean the Whitehouse offered this, right?

Don't scare me like that ! I thought the House lost it's mind(s).

It appears that Congress is NOT going to stand for the snow job offered by the White House.

Well, Stripey. NOTHING'S for sure until it happens. The House Committee just voted on subpoenas for all the presidential aides...and that means Rove, Miers and whoever else. (Exactly the right strategy, too, I might add; calling their bluff.)

The plain truth is that seeing ol' Turdblossom under oath would be better than Christmas. And seeing him on the run from a "Contempt of Congress" charge would be pretty good too.

Sorry about that, Samantha; I was just thinking faster than I was typing. Yes, it was the White House.

Gonzalles will resign. (almost Yesterday)

Most analysis I've read say a political compromise will be reached and Rove will be protected. Gonzales is eventually toast no matter what happens as he tried to bypass congress after promising not to, under orders or not.

The emails are all from October 2006 or earlier, back when the GOP was operating under the "Permanent Majority Illusion", without a care in the world of ever getting a subpoena.
They are still acting like they are in charge, but Congress is Democratic now, and the subpoenas are flying.

As far as executive privilege goes, Bill Clinton was forced to testify under oath, if you can compel the president to testify in a frivolous lawsuit, then the you can probably compel executive branch employees to testify concerning areas of legitimate concern before Congress.

Transcript

Now that both the House and Senate have approved subpoenas for Turdblossom Rove, Harriet Miers, Kyle Sampson and two others, Alberto Gonzales is feeling the heat.

He took a running jump out of Washington DC today, to calm down other US attorneys who may be feeling nervous these days. Although he claims he will NOT resign, there's no telling what might happen if Congress comes down hard on his co-conspiritors and they flip over.

Lets face facts here: The White House simply cannot allow Rove to be put under oath. You know it and I know it. If they can throw the Attorney over the side to keep their dirty trickster from testifying, you'd better believe they'll do it. In a heartbeat.

So now we're getting into the area of a game of high-stakes 'Chicken,' and it's a game that the administration doesn't play very well...because they've never had much practice. They're used to having the deck stacked, the cards marked and their own crooked dealer passing them out. This has started to become, in the words of Mr. Spock, "Fascinating."

Will anybody who thinks that Alberto Gonzales has a snowball's chance in Hell please raise their hands??

Now we find out that:

1. He WAS briefed on the US attorneys before they were fired.
2. He approved the firings.
3. He stood there in front of God and everybody and lied like a Persian rug about it last week.
4. The meeting at which the firings of the attorneys was discussed took place during the 18-day gap for which NO DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED.

Stick a fork in him; he's done. (You'd think that with all the practice these Rot Gut Republicans get, they'd be better liars...)

Guiliani just made a fool of himself right before the news broke that Gonzales is a big fat liar. Gonzales is an honorable and decent man! Yeah as honorable as Bush!

What a joke....all those Republican Senators yesterday claiming the truth will be told behind closed doors, without a transcript, not under oath. I wonder if they are even cringing now, as they should be. Gonzales was completely involved with firing the attorneys for political reasons, to make room for loyal Bush croneys and because some of them investigated Republican crimes.

It's said the White House releases bad news on a Friday so no one will pay attention. Well we are paying attention you crooks and liars! Checks and balances are here and Gonzales and torture policies are going down. If we still had a Republican majority, guess what? We would never even find out the truth.

Of course he's as honorable as Bush. Water seeks its own level and birds of a feather flock together.
