All Hail the New Era of Bush

For all its well-earned reputation for cynicism, the Washington press corps, or some elements of it, has sure taken a rosy-eyed view of the Gonzales resignation.

The Los Angeles Times called it a "blessing" and an "opportunity" for President Bush, and "a chance to salvage his relationship with Capitol Hill and the legacy of his second term."

Roger Simon at The Politico says Bush is putting his legacy above loyalty: "Once famous for his loyalty to subordinates, Bush is now showing himself very capable of jettisoning the ones who create too much controversy." Very capable?

And everyone seems to be of the earnest opinion that Bush must nominate as Gonzales' successor someone of great independence and integrity to restore the Department of Justice. Wouldn't that be great.

TPM Reader MT isn't buying it, and neither am I:......
