If the House Judiciary Committee session Thursday starring Alberto Gonzales produced few revelations
about the suspicious dismissal of eight (or nine or more) U.S. attorneys, the hearing did clarify a critical
political reality. No matter how discredited he is -- and no matter how much damage he continues to
inflict on the Justice Department -- this attorney general will not resign.
What the six-hour hearing established most clearly is that most Republicans remain united behind Gonzales
despite the clear evidence of his incompetence, dishonesty and contempt for Congress as an institution.
Unlike their counterparts in the Senate, none of the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee even
posed a sharp question to him, let alone urged his resignation. Instead they acted in partisan lockstep,
expressing sympathy for the poor attorney general's ordeal, pretending that there is no scandal and
no stonewall, and insisting that the investigation should end.
Gonzales, like Katrina, is a great reminder how stupid and corrupt these monkeys are.
Each month Gonzales hangs around probably gives the democrats two more seats in the House.
Our next president if going to have a veto-proof majority in both houses.
