I think I finally understand why Bush can’t fire Gonzales. Attorney General Gonzales is one of the major plugs in the dam holding back the reservoir of White House cover-ups. So if Gonzo goes, the Senate must confirm a new AG, and guess what? Congress won’t let a lackey through who will do Bush’s bidding and the dam will burst. So the White House must keep their loyal, lapdog AG in place- it’s a question of survival.

The evidence against Gonzales is now so overwhelming, that any sane President would have to demand his resignation. Unless of course that Presidency would crash and burn as a result. What would a law-abiding AG find in Gonzo’s absence? Just the trail of evidence leading to the long line of politically motivated actions and illegal operations in full swing on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Gonzales’ testimony over the past couple of days would be rolling-on-the-floor laughable if it weren’t an insult to every citizen of the United States. The inquiring Senators were definitely NOT amused.

Here’s a video about this very subject from Talking Points Memo.

Would somebody please just ask John Ashcroft?
