After Tough Week, Gonzales Says He Remains Focused

"It almost seems like no one's in charge at the Justice Department," Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said yesterday. "There's just problem after problem after problem, and he doesn't seem to understand the seriousness of what's happened. . . . He doesn't quite understand that it's a new ballgame."

The sharpest and most telling criticism, however, has come from Gonzales's own party.

Specter said before meeting with Gonzales on Thursday that "one day there will be a new attorney general, maybe sooner rather than later." He added later that he did not mean to imply that Gonzales should resign.

Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.) said "there ought to be some heads that roll" over the FBI scandal, and he complained about "the ham-handed dismissal" of U.S. attorneys.

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), whose U.S. attorney was one of those pushed out, told reporters: "I cannot tell you how upset I am at the Justice Department."

But several Washington lawyers and GOP strategists with close ties to the White House said last week that lawmakers and conservative lawyers are nervous that Gonzales may not be up to the job.

"This attorney general doesn't have anybody's confidence," said one GOP adviser to the White House, who spoke on the condition of anonymity so he could be candid. "It's the worst of Bush -- it's intense loyalty for all the wrong reasons. There will be other things that come up, and we don't have a guy in whom we can trust."

And issue a full report with recommendations on whether or not he should be fired.

Then he'll give him a Medal Of Freedom.

3. Gonzalez does need to go

But not because Sensenbrenner says so. See, I haven't forgiven that ummm, joker, for shunting Conyers and co. into some basement area for informal hearings into the bush administrations misdeeds. Sensenbrenner and all others like him must go along with Gonzalez.
