Gonzales Still Hanging On

Evidently Alberto Gonzales thinks the American people are stupid. He's preparing to once again go before a congressional hearing because he politicized the Justice Department, and fired several attorney's so he could replace them with loyal Bushites. So what does he say?

Instead of resigning, as anyone with an ounce of morality or dignity would do, he says he's "decided that the best course of action was to remain here and fix the problems." Can you believe that? The man most responsible for trying to destroy the Justice Department (outside of Bush), now wants us to think that he's going to "fix" it. Obviously, this guy has no sense of shame.

Considering his past actions, I don't want Gonzales trying to "fix" the Justice Department. He will only wind up causing further damage. He needs to resign, and let someone with a much better sense of justice and ethics try to fix the mess he has made.

Senator Schumer hit the nail on the head when he said, "There are probably only two people on Earth who think the attorney general ought to stay: Alberto Gonzales and President Bush. As long as he's in charge, the Justice Department, the rule of law and America will suffer."
