Washington - Two members of Colorado's congressional delegation sharply criticized Attorney General Alberto Gonzales today as the embattled attorney general faced increasing calls for his resignation over the firings of eight U.S. attorneys.

Democratic Sen. Ken Salazar and Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo both spoke critically of Gonzales, with Tancredo calling for his resignation. Salazar stopped just short of calling for the ouster of his friend Gonzales, but stepped up his rhetoric significantly from last week, when he refused to join other Democrats in condemning the attorney general.

"If Attorney General Gonzales has indeed crossed this line, then he has forfeited his right to lead the Department of Justice," Salazar said on the Senate floor today. "I am disappointed that the Department of Justice may have blurred the line between representation of President Bush and representation of the people of the Untied States."

Salazar, a former Colorado attorney general, made his comments despite being a personal friend of Gonzales, who he supported during his nomination to lead the Department of Justice.

Boy they're jumping ship wholesale! Salazar even NOMINATED Gonzo for the office! Hold on, I think I just saw a pig fly by my window!

1. I truly believe..

...that Gonzo will not survive this, he will be sacrificed.

That will make it one down and many to go!

7. Ya know..

.... upon reflection I'd have to say that Gonzo is a specimen, an example, the very definition of a toady :)

4. An aside - notice how the writer used Democrat and Republican

"Democratic Sen. Ken Salazar and Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo both "

Nasty dig. The reverse of saying Democrat when they should be saying Democratic.
And now.
saying Democratic when they should be saying Democrat.

Hey ... it's Democrat Salazar, DenverPost. Don't you get it or are you just nasty?

6. I consider their use proper.

If they put it in parenthesis afterwards, it should be Sen. Ken Salazar (Democrat.)

But "Democratic Sen. Ken Salazar" is correct.

9. I trust you, Eric J. But, it just doesn't sound, feel, or look right to me.

So be it. I'm not an expert. For sure.

8. I think their usage is correct - it's "Democratic Senator K. S", and it's

"Democrat K.S."

noun form vs. adjective form.
