10. Little History Leson
Visigoths were forced into western Europe to avoid the Huns. They were despised by the weakening Romans and persecuted for many years. Eventually the Romans grew incapable of defending their own empire from the scourge from the East. They used the Visigoths as mercenaries to support their war with the East. Eventually the Visigoths grew strong enough to sack and toppple Rome, which had grown fat, weak, and dependant on others to do their fighting.

The lessons of history are great indeed.

3. Bush sure didn't sound like he was in the mood to accept a Gonzo resignation.
This is good. This is the kind of fight that can stiffen the Dems' backbones.

Toodly-doo-de-dooooooo! CHARGE!

5. A warming thought, but probably wasted energy. I doubt they'll be held to account
Best we can get is a wrist slap on the scale Clinton got with yanked DC bar license.

7. there is no upside to Gonzales resigning at this point
the democrats in congress are going forward with this investigation whether he resigns or not.

Accordingly, I don't see him resigning, although I know this is not the majority thinking here on DU
