read on another board that Gonzales is getting shitcanned per CBS.

[ourbluenation]

anyone else heard this?

[Bluebear]

1. CNN led with it at 7 but WH denies it. nt

[northofdenali]

14. WH denies it? Then for sure it's true.

Great job, Gonzo!

[madokie]

2. I would be susprised if he doesn't

maybe they'll take his green card too

[WindRavenX]

3. stupid Q: Is he just "fired" by W? Or how is he actually "let go"?

:shrug:

[blondie58]

4. I'll add to your stupid question WindRaven!

and does he stay on the payroll and continue to occupy an office and call the shots? Seemed that way for both Rumsfield and Rove.

[LSparkle]

5. He'll resign, saying he doesn't want to be a distraction

Kinda like when ScottieBoy left ...

[liberal N proud]

6. Probably more like fired by Karl Rove

Karl wants Gonzo's head to save his own.

[WindRavenX]

7. it amazes me to no end how Rove keeps staying one step ahead of everyone

He has to be the most sleazy man in politics ever. And, he's untouchable.

[liberal N proud]

8. No doubt

[Hubert Flottz]

12. Karl knows too much on Bush and he has job security.

[Uben]

9. Come on, people!

Fired? No way. He may have to step down from the AG job, but you can bet he will still be right by Bush's side till glory day (Jan 09).

Bush doesn't fire people. They just take another position. That's the way cronyism works. They know way too much for them to be fired, so they are found new positions that pay twice as much......get the drift?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

10. He'll resign to spend more time with his family - beneath a kitchen refrigerator

dodging the next spraying of RAID.

[woodsprite]

11. Could it be their effort to distract from Plame's hearing? n/t

[pinto]

13. My guess is Mr. Gonzales will be spending more time with the family soon.

His political partisanship is obviously beyond the ethical standard of his position.

I don't know what the tipping point will be, but if one or two more influential (R)'s join the call for his dismissal, he may very well choose a gracious exit.
