Somebody is showing some brass ba*ls. What will happen next with him?

Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.
i'm not resigning either
I'm reasonably sure that even Gene Stipe would be less corrupt in the position.
Why is it that the guy with the longest name around here is also bent on having the longest thread titles?
Compensation?
ANY WHY DO THEY ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THIS?!
OMG!
LOL!

In a couple short sentences can someone educate me on what all is going on with this stuff? I havnt been folllowing any it.
There were minor shenanigans. The usual air of "cover-up" ensued, taking minor shenanigans and giving them the appearance of major shenanigans. Now people are in trouble for lying...when they didn't need to in the first place.
I hope the next bunch are as inept as these guys. This never gets old.

The Democrats really need to consolidate their strategy. They are wasting a lot of time and energy striking out at every issue they disagree with Bush over. It really startes to reach a burnout factor with the public and pretty soon the voters even tune out the catterwalling on the important issues.
This Democratically controlled Congress is starting to look more and more like a one-term deal.
Beware the man who would rule you for your own good. He will never cease. He will regulate every aspect of your life, destroy your liberty and enslave you, and sleep well convinced that he has made the world a better place.

.LEAHY: Are you, or are you not Alberto Gonzales?
GONZALES: Senator, I, I don't recall.
LEAHY: You've been Alberto Gonzales all your life. You learned how to drive as Alberto Gonzales, you graduated college as Alberto Gonzales, you were confirmed as Attorney General of the United States of America as Alberto Gonzales. Are you telling me that you don't remember whether or not you are Alberto Gonzales?
GONZALES: Senator, in my mind, no, I do not recall.
SPECTOR: Thank you Mr. Chairman and Mr. Gonzales. Mr. Gonzales, it's safe to say that you attended meetings in the White House, is that correct?
GONZALES: Senator, yes people certainly work in the White House. The White House is a place where business takes place every day. Was I ever specifically in the White House?
SPECTOR: That's the question.
GONZALES: Senator, I've been searching my mind for the last few weeks, and I can't seem to recall the answer to that question.
SPECTOR: There are pictures of you at the White House.
GONZALES: Senator, I'm not calling those pictures into question. I believe those pictures. I think those pictures are wonderful objects. I do not oppose those pictures, but those pictures and my recollection can be at odds.

This isn't just the Democrats. A good number of Republicans are upset with Gonzales (and calling for his resignation) as well.
alot of rhinos are currently residing in the republican party.
I would just like to get a new set of political puppets guys like
kennedy, spector, shumer, et al need to retire or should I say be retired.
OBAMA= One Big A** Mistake America!
IMO, he's a wimpy li'l bastage. He needs to go.
Free the Texas three...the 2 border patrol agents and the deputy sheriff...
Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.
Rhinos have their own political party
Other platform promises released by the Rhinoceros Party included:
* repealing the law of gravity,
* reducing the speed of light because it's much too fast,
* paving Manitoba to create the world's largest parking lot,
* providing higher education by building taller schools,
* instituting English, French and illiteracy as Canada's three official languages,
* offering to retrain those constituents who want to become illiterate by enrolling them in a state educational institution,
* tearing down the Rocky Mountains so that Albertans could see the Pacific sunset, or moving them one metre west as a make-work project,
* legalising pot. And pans. And spatulas. And other kitchen utensils,
* building sloping roads and bicycle paths across the country so that Canadians could "coast from coast to coast",
* making all sidewalks out of rubber to prevent inebriated people from hurting themselves when they fall down
* responding to the energy crisis, reducing energy costs for transportation by moving the cities of Montréal 50 km west and Toronto 50 km east,
* abolishing pumping oil out of the ground as that oil is there to keep the earth moving smoothly on its axis and if you withdraw the oil, the whole thing will grind to a halt,
* abolishing the environment because it's too hard to keep clean and it takes up so much space,
* annexing the United States, which would take its place as the third territory, after the Yukon and the Northwest Territories (Nunavut did not yet exist) in Canada's backyard, in order to raise the mean temperature of Canada by one degree Celsius,
* replacing the Canadian Forces with clones of Vladislav Tretiak,
* end crime by abolishing all laws
* making bubble gum the national currency, so that it could be inflated or deflated at will,
* Making the pop bottle the official currency of Canada as the value went up, not down
* Paving the Bay of Fundy to create more parking in the Maritimes
* Demolishing the Rockies and using the resulting gravel to make a national nature trail
* breeding a mosquito that would only hatch in January so that "the little buggers will freeze to death",
* turning Montreal's Saint Catherine Street into the world's longest bowling alley,
* adopting the British system of driving on the left; this was to be gradually phased in over five years with large trucks and tractors first, then buses, eventually including small cars and bicycles last,
* as an energy-saving idea, putting larger wheels on the back of all cars so that they will always be going downhill,
* selling the Canadian Senate at an antique auction in California,
* putting the national debt on Visa,
* declaring war on Belgium because a Belgian cartoon character, Tintin, killed a rhinoceros in one of the cartoons,
* offering to call off the proposed Belgium-Canada war if Belgium delivered a case of mussels and a case of Belgian beer to Rhinoceros "Hindquarters" in Montréal (the Belgian Embassy in Ottawa did, in fact, do this),
* painting Canada's coastal sea limits so that Canadian fish would know where they were at all times,
* counting the Thousand Islands to make sure none were missing,
* running Penny Hoar on a safe sex platform in Toronto,
* running more than one candidate per riding as an MP's salary is certainly enough to support more than one person,
* exploiting acid rain as an electrical energy source by placing dissimilar-metal electrodes in Canadian swimming pools in order to use them as batteries,
* making Canadians stronger by putting steroids in the water,
* banning lousy Canadian winters,
* moving the Vatican to Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Quebec to promote tourism,
* putting the West Edmonton Mall on wheels and rolling it to areas of the country suffering from economic depression,
* turning the Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine tunnel in Montreal into a free carwash by poking holes in the ceiling,
* transforming the Montreal Olympic Stadium into a gigantic beluga aquarium,
* drafting the Queen Mother to sew up the hole in the ozone layer
* building giant domes over several conservative neighbourhoods to keep the dinosaurs, both real and political, in.
* annexing Greenland and creating a cartel with other northern nations in order to sell icebergs to the Saudis; the cartel would be called "Snopec",
* digging a canal from coast to coast, by hand, to reduce unemployment; and then, leveling the Rocky Mountains and using the canal to transport the material east to fill in the Great Lakes, in order to expand Canada's landmass.
* impose an "import quota on lousy winters -- Canadians are sick of being God's frozen people. It's time to get back to the four basic seasons: salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar."
* include the word "fun" in Acts of Parliament, Acts of Provincial Legislatures, and Bylaws of municipalities, from which it was apparently conspicuously absent.
Tom Coburn is the farthest right-wing RINO I've ever seen, then.

He isn't overly impressive IMO.
But to resign for firing someone is pretty stupid.
Tom Coburn is definitely a RINO in the sense that the GOP now is quite liberal and he isn't.
Gonzales needs to go. He screwed up and he's obviously covering up. Any time the story starts to be about the individual, it's game over. If this was just a witch hunt (like happens way too frequently) I'd be behind him sticking it out. But he obviously is trying to cover his tracks. And of course Bush is once again loyal to a fault.
What I don't get is that the US Attorney is a political position, they serve at the pleasure of the President. So what's the deal is they fire people? I just think Gonzales is a little weasel and I don't trust him, like I don't trust much of the Bushy cabinet. Plus Gonzales has his hand on the prosecution of the Texas Three and the giving of Visas and money, etc. to a know Messican drug smuggler and cartel member.
