And Gonzo is a bad talker, compared to Chertoff (or to a trained monkey). So I don't think this needs to be some DeLay-style crime-family operation, but rather maneuvering for Bush's and even more so Gonzo's personal benefits. What are the chances these phony, lying, dastardly Dems will seek to charge Gonzo with anything, now that he is going?Barry Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817873613927688419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674902.post-80833734801745445192007-08-27T14:34:00.000-04:002007-08-27T14:34:00.000-04:00Naive of me, too, BTW.

Pelosi had me fooled for a while with her bait-and-switch--trying to buy us off by showing swift action in passing 'social-issue' legislation, and then doing nothing to stop occupation-funding and rights-stealing legislation.Barry Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817873613927688419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674902.post-59653712269815146822007-08-27T14:30:00.000-04:002007-08-27T14:30:00.000-04:00I can't agree with many of your assumptions.

If Chertoff is willing to be a Gonzales-like consigliere, except not quite as stupid, then the change strikes me as rather routine, and probably was made to avoid contempt and/or impeachment proceedings against Gonzales.<BR/><BR/>What was naive (of Josh Marshall, for instance) was to assume that there was no one confirmable who could do what Gonzales did for Bush, but for that to be true the Democrats would have had to be mature and responsible.Barry Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817873613927688419noreply@blogger.com
