Poll question: Will Busholini fire Gonzo?
Gonzo is Busholini's killing buddy from Texas. This is one person that will never be fired.

2. sorry, but for Bush, that would be an admission of error
in selecting Gonzo...so he'll never do it.

5. Gonzo will decide to "spend more time with his family"...
because the alternative for a bush crime family made-man who disappoints is "sleeping with the fishes."

they don't get fired. firing indicates weakness in the initial selection.

6. Gonzales will step down, sooner rather than later, a move that
will attempt to douse the flames. The notion of weeks and weeks of investigation and hearings on the Hill would be politically undoing, even for the Bush White House.

We'll likely hear about Dubya's famous "loyalty" to his political chums, but Gonzales is doing no Republican any favors by refusing to resign.

The hearings, plus the press nosing around here and there, are more likely to produce more damning info, not less. This is a hot fire. Gonzales is used to manipulations from behind the scenes. He seems a lot less sure-footed when the focus is on him directly.

7. Agreed
He was sweating like a pig yesterday at his 9 min. presser and ran like a scared little boy afterward.

10. hi, rusty_parts. I am REALLY liking your "like a pig" description. Seems
to go well with the arrogance of the Bush administration.

Yes. That press appearance yesterday was a glimpse inside a guy whose up to his neck in sinister doings behind the curtain but once exposed collapses and whimpers.

15. Swamp Rat! howdy! Love those oh-so-pink fingernails.
The Martindale-Hubbel library behind him is probably one more source he's never bothered with, another being The Constitution.

Strong image of a man on his way out the door.

14. In an attempt to ..
... head off further investigations and problems, I think there is a good chance he will jettison Gonzo. We shall see.

16. I Think This Will Get Really Hot
and Bush will have to cave. I just think it may take a few months and some hearings.
