First, we had Rumsfeld telling us that he would stay on "as long as he was effective". We are slowly starting to understand how much that stay cost the nation.
Now, we have Gonzales, gleefully repeating the same thing. What will that cost us? Some one of the remaining "loyal bushies" is going to step over the line on election fraud, next year or in the run-up to 2008, no doubt. We'll all be paying tax-dollars for more 'investigations'.
Bush's interpretation of the Harvard Rules of governing apparently include sending deputies out self-servingly to say, "We could have done better", and then walking right back on the job with "full confidence".
I continue to be worried that Gonzales testimony is carefully parsed in some places, like (paraphrase), "I don't believe that anyone in the department would have made a recommendation for improper reasons."
Could that mean that people outside "the department", such as the White House itself, made an "improper" decision? How about Senator Dominici?
Given that there is no confidence in the AG at this point and that the WH has refused to clear up the matter under oath, then I cannot see why the Senate ought not to (a) keep investigating or (b) vote no confidence and threaten funding.
