Even the White House won’t defend Alberto Gonzales any more. Nor will any other conservatives. So why is he still attorney general? Only because he is friends with Bush? Only because he knows all of Bush’s secrets? What a sham!
Here are some choice quotes from the interview on Fox. From Chris Wallace:
“By the way, we invited White House officials and Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee to defend Attorney General Gonzales. We had no takers.”
From Newt Gingrich:
“Both the president and country are better served if the attorney general is a figure of competence. Sadly, the current attorney general is not seen as any of those things. I think it’s a liability for the president. More importantly, it’s a liability for the United States of America.”

Wouldn’t it be nice if Bush would nominate some honest lawyers who respect the constitution to head up the justice department? All of the top spots are empty. But he will want people he can trust to not investigate his administration, someone who agrees to illegal wiretaps and torture and prisoner rendition around the world, and I really hope that the congress doesn’t give in.
