Pressure has been mounting for the last week for Alberto Gonzales to either quit or be fired. The former might happen, but there’s no way in hell that the latter will. Chucklehead (that's my pet name for the president-select; you'll get used to it) would view firing him as an admission of failure. Besides, I’m sure Bush thinks Alberto is doing a heck of a job. Because instead of doing the job that he was sworn to do (upholding the Constitution and the laws of our country, that sort of thing), Gonzales has focused on covering Bush’s ass. And Bush likes people who come behind and clean up the mess and chaos he creates.
That said, I kind of think it would be a good idea to keep Gonzales around for a while. When the new person is put in place, Democrats will have to back off on their efforts to discover just what the hell these people have been up to and give the new guy (you know it’s going to be a guy) a chance. There'll be the requisite honeymoon period in which Republicans would whine and complain if Dems continued to push to discover what else these folks have been up to. And I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is much, much more to uncover.
So, please, stick around, Mr. Gonzales. We need you to hang on long enough for the evidence that will send your sorry butt, and hopefully your boss’ to jail for a long, long time.
