Bush won't let Gonzales go. That's my bet. Al is too good of a straw [View All]

man. My sense is that Gonzales protected Rove and the President today. I think that because of the way he answered the questions that DF asked about "who put the names on the list?" No answer there from AG because, at least it was clear to me, Rove put the names on this list. So Al allowed himself to look like an incredible incompetent to protect his President and the President's "brain". Bush knows what he's got here...a man who has given his life to Bush and who will give his life for Bush. Al will stay around and in the process, he will cripple and degrade the Justice Department. But they never cared about the Justice Department in the first place. Al will stay around and keep getting kicked around. And Bush is betting that, at some point, people will tire of kicking Al around or that there will be a backlash. Bush is really playing his cards on this one. There won't be much left of Al when this is over, but, as my son pointed out to me earlier today, Al is the guy who endorsed torture.
