But even if he resigns in disgrace, whoever Bush nominates will probably be just as bad or worse. Harriet Miers?? Some 30-something Regency University graduate??

And even if Gonzales goes, as long as any Bush-nominated “loyal Bushie” remains as a U.S. Attorney, anything they do will also be tainted and subject to suspicion.

The end of the most corrupt (and dangerous) administration in American history cannot come soon enough.

Wouldn’t be a convicted felon by the name of Jack Abramoff, would it?

Think I heard Grassley say it was in reference to a matter before the Finance Committee.

Rove’s playbook:
