Let's not also forget that this collection of Chickenhawks never fought for a thing in their lives. (OK, that might be hyperbole but I challenge anyone to defend Rove, Bush or Cheney's military records or lack thereof. I've earned the right to ask that question because I served in the Air Force during the last half of the Cold War and served most of that time at Ramstein. I understand "imminent threat".)

I submit that when this develops into a real fight, with actual skin in the game, they'll run for cover and cut a deal like they've always done in the past. (Hell, Cheney can't even aim a shotgun worth a damn! Sidenote: Whatever happened with that little fiasco involving the Veep?)

Dare to dream!

IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH! (Save the Republic!)

Does this mean that my Che Guevara t-shirt isn't just snarky and ironic anymore? ;-)

The more things change ... the more they stay the same!

IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH! (Save the Republic!)

Elephantman - classic conservative hack job of a commentary ... just make stuff up and with enough bluster ... voila! It is truth! What pure crap.

As has been pointed out more than once now, you missed the point entirely. Were you too busy beating plowshares into swords when your fellow neocons threw the one about WMD's and Hussein and Bin Laden being pen pals past you with little to no actual evidence? Good grief, pay attention and actually read something and take the time to understand it before you run off at the mouth.

We are dealing with complex people and complex issues. There hasn't been a human being yet with all the answers and insights on others' behavior so we draw conclusions based on all the available evidence. (There's that word again ... evidence.) Mr. Blumenthal doesn't deal in absolutes. He never actually said Gonzales wouldn't resign, he simply said it wasn't in his best interests to resign. More importantly Mr.Blumenthal pointed out that it wasn't in The Decider's best interests to have Fredo resign. Complex people, complex issues.

Clearly the landscape changed for Fredo with Rove's resignation and to not think TurdBlossom had unprecedented influence over Fredo is completely naive if not overtly stupid. Were it not for the BushCo crime family and Rove, Mr. Gonzales would never had risen as high and as quickly as he did. He never even held a prosecutorial role in any justice department in the land; this is usually a prerequisite for AG. Of course that assumes normal circumstances and we all know this presidency could not ever be ascribed as normal.

If you had paid any attention at all to his multiple misrespresentations, lies and other gaffs during his appearances before the Senate Judiciary Commte, you would've had no other choice but to believe that the DoJ under Fredo had become highly politicized and subserviant to the White House. There is email after email and testimony under oath to this fact.

Perhaps the Senate Judiciary Commte was closing in on something very damning and Gonzales couldn't take the heat any longer. Added to his problems, his political benefactor & mentor is skipping town, so why stick around and take the fall or worse wind up in prison? He did what any animal interested in self-preservation does ... he bailed out. Plain as the nose on your face. If you don't believe any of that, ask yourself what YOU would do if you were in his shoes. Well?

What I am more worried about than splitting hairs about why Gonzales resigned is what happens next. Clearly there are a lot of skeletons buried and the BushCo crime family wants to make sure they stay in the ground and they'll do ANYTHING to make sure that happens. Worse, this leaves a delusional and self-destructive president even more isolated and subject to the machinations of Evil-Dick (to borrow a moniker from "BigBrother8" ). I think this makes Bush and Cheney more dangerous than ever!

Fellow Americans ... keep your heads-up and your eyes peeled ... this is gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets better. We really could be on the precipice.
