"But he has done a fantastic job at the Department of Justice. He is our number one crime fighter"

Straight from the White House.

They really ARE crazy.

Dana Perino:

He (Gonzales) has done so much to help keep this country safe from terrorists. He has worked determinately to prevent predators from attacking our children. He has worked -- they have a fantastic record of fighting corruption in government and in keeping gang violence off our streets.

And I could go on and on, but I think that following the hearing and following the tension that was in the room, I think on this new day I think -- hopefully people will be able to take a step back, realize that there was no credible evidence of wrongdoing, that the Attorney General has apologized for how it was handled, and that he has a job to do, and he's been doing it very well. And the President has full confidence in him.

Q Dana, has the President spoken with Paul Wolfowitz over the last couple weeks?

MS. PERINO: No, not that I'm aware of, and there's no change -- the President still has confidence in him. And there is a review that's ongoing by the board, and we're leaving it with them to go ahead and complete that.

Q Is there any plans for the President to personally call Mr. Wolfowitz and express his support to him directly?

MS. PERINO: I've said it publicly for days, and I'll let -- if there's an update on the President's call schedule --

Q Does the President ever get tired of having to express his full confidence in the people around him these days?

MS. PERINO: When you're President of the United States and you have this many folks that you are employing, it's a pretty small number that he's had to express full confidence in. All of us who serve at the pleasure of the President, if the moment he doesn't have full confidence in you, you no longer work for him. And we all take that very seriously.

Has Bush fired ANYONE (Rumsfeld doesn't count, he still has an office at DOD)?

2. What a total crock of crapola. Yet another instance of peeing on the public's shoes and telling

us to our faces that it is raining!!

4. This question had to be dripping with scorn

"Q Does the President ever get tired of having to express his full confidence in the people around him these days?"

I know I could not have asked it without oozing scorn

[frogcycle]

5. Gonzo believes he did us a favor by appearing before Congress

and now that that is over and he gave Congress all the info he has, he will get on doing his job of being a good Bushie.

7. That's what is incredible to me

The arrogance. Gone-zo graciously makes an appearance --- and they expect him to just walk away clean.

6. The Vote of Confidence.

In baseball, this is a cue for the manager to pack his bags and start looking for a coaching/scouting job pronto.

Bob Lemon, Gene Michael and Billy Martin. I rest my case. :)

Dubya's taken it, as usual, to a whole new level of blech.

[Canuckistanian]

13. What has Gonzo done to "protect children", exactly?

Seems to me he's spent his time arranging political fixes to non-existent problems.

[frogcycle]

15. didn't you know he outed Mark Foley?

[Canuckistanian]

16. LOL, his "shining moment"

I don't remember word ONE from him during that whole debacle.
