Specter Wants gonzAllAss To Resign-WTF?
Edited on Tue May-15-07 05:08 PM by Dinger
A link from the C-Span website:
http://blog.pennlive.com/lvbreakingnews/2007/05/specter_raps_gonzales_and_just.html" . . . . He added that it would be "embarrassing" for any self-respecting lawyer to work for the U.S. Justice Department so long as Gonzales remained at the helm of the nation's premier law enforcement agency. . . . "

" . . . Pennsylvania's five-term Republican senator made it clear that he would prefer to see Gonzales resign than continue to see talented lawyers flee the Justice Department. And, in comments that seemed to be directed at the White House, Specter said that the Justice Department would benefit from Gonzales' departure. . . . "

What the hell is going on here?

1. What's with this?
From the article itself quoting Specter:

"It is the decision of Mr. Gonzales as to whether he stays or goes...."

What's that mean? No, it is not up to Gonzo, it is up to Bush whether he stays or goes. He might resign, but Chimp would tell him to do so rather than have to fire him. Since when can a Cabinet officer decide he is staying no matter what. He must have something unbelievable against Bush that would send him to jail.
