Legion;
Generally speaking,officials don't cause scandals, the media do. This is usually only based on which politician they choose to focus on, not on whether there has been any scandalous activity and is nearly always politically motivated.
You are surely smart enough not to believe the Democrats are less corrupt?
Can you even imagine a person less qualified to spew sanctimony than Sen. Charles Schumer? Kinda turns your stomach to hear it all day doesn't it?
All in, the country is better off without Mr. Gonzales, just not for the reasons given.

Gonzales really did do the impossible. He made Ashcroft look like a stand-up guy...

Chertoff?

Has long term memory gone out of fashion? The guy is a total incompetent!

Pop quiz- who was "heckuvajob" Brownie's boss during that minor Katrina thing anyway?

That depends, Wayne... which official is most likely to be the next to cause an enormous corruption scandal, massive loss of life, get arrested for sexual deviancy, or just cause a general colossal f*ckup? Or perhaps Bush will just nominate yet another mob-tainted philandering thug to head up DHS when Chertoff moves over to DOJ? There is literally no end to the potential candidates...

I wonder if the President will do a recess appointment? I can hear the Dems sreaming and rending their garments on the steps of the capital now.

Someone please tell Mr. Meyers that the title is "President Bush" or "Mr. President",not MR. Bush.
It would be easy to name a dozen unworthy presidents, but the office is due respect.In this article,Steven Meyers uses the title "Mr." as an epithet.
As for Mr. Gonzales; Good riddance for all the WRONG reasons!

I for one cannot wait to see what sort of train wreck gets nominated to fill the AG's shoes now. Surely no sane person, no matter how qualified, would be interested in going into the kind of meat grinder that awaits them in the confirmation hearings. Not to mention that this administration has, at every opportunity, shown that it will gladly put completely unqualified, incompetent buffoons into any position in gov't, so long as they are totally partisan & willing to put Bush's PR ahead of any other concern. Talent at a job is purely a happy coincidence for these jokers.

He must have gotten some independent legal advice that, ultimately, SCOTUS does not see things the way Addington/Yoo do.

I think less joke than sinecure which is rather disturbing.
