I Stand By Gonzales
Then again, I never wilt in the face of . Wonder who the liberals will target next for the right to give up on?
Update:Sadly, Mac Ranger has discovered the next sacrifice to be made to the obsessed liberals: the head of the GSA. If the right thinks this is all there will be they are naive.
I do, too.
Someone posted this law of the land:
Those that don’t have a full story aren’t supporting Gonzales.
Fred Barnes is correct that it’s time for Bush to stand up to the Democrats.
Ya think Gonzales will stay? Then they’ll go after Rove.
According to Mac Ranger, looks like he’s going after Rove.

Can’t believe that Hagel is pushing for impeachment of Bush. He and Webb are submitting a binding resolution for the Iraqi war tomorrow. Ya think Hagel and Webb will run for 08 as a pair?
Being fast on your feet is not necessarily the measure of an honest, good man. I vote for Gonzoles.
I’m with him, too.
(BTW, hate to ask, but did the HTML go screwy?)
AJStrata, too bad that Captain’s Quarters does not stand by Gonzales.
Kathie, after 8 hours of being grilled by the Democratic Senate, would it be so easy to get confused?
I don’t see as much hyped reporting today as we did last week. Drudge still has a bullet but don’t see it much elsewhere. This topic was covered by the TV shows this weekend. Regardless, is this story dying out?
I hope so! And permanently!
Ya think Hagel and Webb will run for 08 as a pair?
Lurker, maybe as the nominees of the OP (Obscure Party).
The sweetheart deal the Justice Dept. cut with Sandy Burgler is a MAJOR strike against Gonzales, IMO, but I’m still waiting for some indication that prosecutions of Congressman Jefferson and any or all of the National Security leakers are going forward before I pass final judgement. Until then, I’m willing to give Gonzales the benefit of a doubt, but not much more.
You know, RS, I still don’t understand how Berger got away with this kind of a deal. Was this deal brokered with a US attorney or directly with Gonzales?
Why don’t you email or call WH, Cheney, and DoJ that you’d like them to move forward with these investigations?
Gonzales stated – before Congress – that he had been involved in “no discussions” about the fired US Attorneys. Now e-mails demonstrate conclusively that he WAS involved in exactly such discussions – and his lies to Congress are impeachable felonies. I. Lewis Libby was convicted for jsut such a lie.
Gonzales is next – and if you’re fool enough to “stand with him” – you’ll be doing so in some minimum security federal penal farm.
Be advised – this story is not going to die – so far its only the tip of the iceberg – and the next step will be criminal investigations of improper interference in ongoing investigations. The latest revelations from Republican John McKay, former US Attorney in Washington state, corroborate other attorneys complaints that Gonzales believed US attorneys “had other responsibilities beyond focusing on the evidence and not allow[ing] politics into the work that we do in criminal prosecutions.”
According to McKay:
They’re all going down.
Sooth, you’re often quick to condemn and ridicule other peoples’ sources, often referring to them with crude and disparaging language, and yet you seldom provide links for your quotes. Why is that — are you ashamed of your sources?
Why don’t you email or call WH, Cheney, and DoJ that you’d like them to move forward with these investigations?
I have (at least to the WH, as well as my Congressman and both Senators. No response yet from any of them.
Spook-
For people unable to click! Google:
You will note – the source for the quote was Mr. McKay, former US Attorney in the State of Washington.
Why do I get the feeling that Soothsayer gets his news from sites like IndyMedia and FireDogLake? I mean, who else would give you the impression that “They’re all going down“? Sheesh, one guy gets convicted on a ridiculous perjury rap based on a he-said/she-said thing that apparently didn’t have anything to do with Valerie Plame’s covert status because the judge wouldn’t even allow that question to be asked in the court, and Sooth’s dreaming about the whole administration being annihilated. Come on, that didn’t even happen to Clinton, and Ken Starr managed to get 14 convictions, at least.
and Sooth’s dreaming about the whole administration being annihilated.
Aitch, I think the entire left side of the blogosphere is engaged in a collective wet dream, and you know what you have when you wake up from one of those.
Aitch – you’re the one in a wet dream – its reached the point where a recently retired REpublican US Attorney – you know, the folks who prosecute the bad guys who violate Federal laws, is saying:
Those involved in the scandal over the firings who acted unprofessionally or even illegally must be held accountable for what they did.
I have a feeling Mr. McKay knows what illegally means.
Holy Cow!! This keeps going from bad to worse:
So, now you’re standing up with a guy who apparently supports raping adolescent boys. Nice friends you got there.
Sure Sooth. Who’s your source, Indymedia? Oh wait, you’re just going to tell us to go Googling for it. Right.
Or maybe I’ll wait for more information from more sources before diving off the cliff with Sooth over the new !!!BOY-RAPE!!! story. Like questions of jurisdiction, for example. Or maybe somebody in the story who proves to be like the prostitute who accused those lacrosse players of rape and changed her story three times. Or maybe the story is from 1999 or something.
Besides, didn’t we already do the whole !!!BOY-RAPE!!! thing in the last election, with Mark Foley resigning in disgrace, and then the news media spending an entire month hyperventilating about somebody who was already gone from Congress? Gee, keep this up, you libs, and eventually you’ll have to rely on !!!!!!!!!!D_E_A_D___B_A_B_Y___R_A_P_E!!!!!!!!!! to get the same reaction from people.
The Left has absolutely NO moral authority on which to stand when it comes to truthfulness and honesty…We listen to the party of “it depends on what the meaning of is, is” because why?
They wouldn’t recognize the truth if it fell on their heads as hot coals…they have demonstrated that over and over.
So now we’re throwing BOY-RAPE into the mix now? Sure, why not, it certainly helped to keep Mark Foley in all our faces for a full month AFTER the guy was already gone from Congress. Of course, the Mark Foley brouhaha wasn’t quite the BOY-RAPE atrocity it was portrayed to be.
Oh look, Sooth’s now dragging in the BOY-RAPE meme. I guess that one worked wonders in the last election (when the media decided to go on a month-long rant AFTER Mark Foley was already out of Congress), so I guess it was time to try it again. Of course Sooth does it based on a bunch of paragraphs in blockquote tags from DU or Indymedia or FireDogLake or the Huffington Post or God-knows-where — he gives no source, no attribution, no author name, no link, no URL, no NOTHING. Oh, that’s right — we’re not supposed to care where he got his info; we’re supposed to just Google it for ourselves.
