Republican officials operating at the behest of the White House have begun seeking a possible successor to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, whose support among GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill has collapsed, according to party sources familiar with the discussions.
Politico floats some possible replacements. I think Ted Olson, he of Clinton conspiracy infamy, is a no-go with a Democratic congress.
What a sad, sad list of hacks!
Olson’s wife Barbara died aboard one of the 9/11 planes, so do you think the Bush Administration will try to exploit 9/11 again in selling him to a reluctant Congress?
Gonzalez cannot resign, because US attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president. THEY SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF THE PRESIDENT!!! MEDIA CONSPIRACY!!! MEDIA CONSPIRACY!!! GONZALEZ 4EVER!!!!
Then maybe Bush should fire him. Clearly he’s “displeased.”
