Status: offline 		Senator John Sununu (R-NH) has called on President Bush to fire Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Does this herald the end of the AG's tenure? Will he be squeezed out? Or will he weather the storm?

What do you think and why?

Status: offline 		According to the New York Times, it sounds like another GOP senator has some doubts too:

“The U.S. attorney general is probably facing the deepest crisis of his particular tenure,” Senator John Ensign, a Nevada Republican who has been critical of the dismissal of a prosecutor in his state, said in an interview. “We will find out how he handles this over the next few weeks, whether he is the kind of leader that deserves to stay in office.”

Look how long it took to get Rumsfeld out and King George only has another two years left.

And Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., said Thursday Gonzales had lost the confidence of Congress.

"The senator believes it would be helpful to have an attorney general that Congress can have more confidence in," said Smith's spokesman, R.C. Hammond.

I think the probe will spread.....and won't because of the good public servants in congress.

Greg Pallast came on the radio as I was driving back earlier tonight to say that this thing is deep and goes back to time when Bush gave away lottery contracts when he was Governor of Texas. They've tied Harriet Myers into it now as axewoman and even mentioned her firing investigators looking into the fact that Bush's military service is a fabrication.

Status: offline 		Did it ever occur to anyone that Gonzales was the fall guy from the beginning as it was planned by Bush's administration for him to take the hit unknowingly?

It was meant also to discredit Gonzales' ethnic group and help foster more hatred towards the illegal immigrants....might shrewd planning if you ask Me.
