Bush ‘Pugnacious,’ ‘In Deep Denial,’ As White House Allies Press For Gonzales Resignation»

President Bush is the main force holding up the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, GOP sources say tonight. CBS News reports:

Republicans close to the White House tell CBS News chief White House correspondent Jim Axelrod that President Bush is in “his usual posture: pugnacious, that no one is going to tell him who to fire.” But sources also said Gonzales’ firing is just a matter of time.

The White House is bracing for a weekend of criticism and more calls for Gonzales to go. One source tells CBS News he’s never seen the administration in such deep denial, and Republicans are growing increasingly restless for the president to take action.

Also tonight, CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux reported: “Wolf, I have to tell you, I’ve spoken to a lot of people who are friends of those here at the White House and GOP strategists. They want Gonzales gone. They’re putting a lot of pressure on this president. One of them said, look, Gonzales has a constituency of one, and that is the president. But tonight, Wolf, White House officials who I’ve spoken to say that that is exactly the person who’s saving his job, that the president does not intend to let him go.”

    If Bush refuses to listen to the voice of the people (again!), then it’s time for them both to be ripped out of office.


  2. Jake Says:

    So, is Bush REFUSING to fire an Attorney now an impeachable offense too? Damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.


  3. veritas Says:

    Like Gonzo/So Bush - If Bush believes that his army of “one” is going to defraud the american people of their wishes (Repubs and Dems), then it’s certainly time for the american people to bring Bush his just punishment for his wrongdoing. It’s now going to seal Bush’s fate and bring on impeachment proceedings for sure. People have been giving him a “buy” because he’s a lameduck and the proceedings take too long and he’d be on his way out of office anyway. But this recent stance takes the proverbial cake….the american people have had a belly full of Bush’s antics but hoped that he could simply leave, albeit without a positive legacy of ANY kind, but leave quietly without further embarassing this country. Now the gloves are off! It’s time for this individual who believes himself to be on the fast track with his “father in heaven”, who hasn’t listened to the wishes of the people even once, and now is flaunting his army of one with regard to the wishes of everyone to dismiss Gonzales…..to be put out of office immediately.

    He’s lost the trust and respect of the american people and is a liability to this country worldwide.

    Impeachment needs to begin now.

    It is already established that *obstruction-of-justice* by a sitting president is an impeachable offense. The firing of the attorneys very well might be impeachable, if Bush caused it to happen.

    There are so many reasons to impeach him though, why do you *pretend* this is the only one? Is that another bad *tactic* on your part, or are you just too st*pid to know what a complete fool it shows you to be?

    Have you always been a bush-cultist? Or are you one of the *converts* that became crazy during the towers collapse?

    Comment by Jake

    If that attorney or other member of Bush’s team commits an impeachable offense and Bush condones or supports him/her it would seem there is another good argument for impeachment.

  22. smerdblossom Says:

    Preznit Bush is having a break with reality. We’re fast approaching the Nixon-wandering-around-talking-to the-portrait-gallery stage. Tune in next month for the “my mother was a saint” farewell as he throws the victory V’s and heads off into the sunset on the helicopter.


  23. Jim Source Says:

    It may be constipation. Has Condi let him have a bathroom break lately?


  24. dlet Says:

    But who is Bush going to find that is as good as boot-licking as Gonzo. So many illegal things to hide and he was a main part of the plan for the ‘08 elections I bet.


  25. Zappatero Says:

    I love the fact that Bush hates being told what to do. Yet there is absolutely no way out of this one.


  26. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    It doesn’t matter whether or not Chimpy fires Gonzo. Gonzo lied under oath. Whether or not he is prosecuted for that offense is the important thing…if that’s done, his employment situation will take care of itself.

    Personally, I hope Chimpy clings to the albatross slung about his neck that is Gonzo for as long as possible…every day he doesn’t distance himself from him is another day he further incriminates himself.

    Comment by VerbalKint — March 16, 2007 @ 8:25 pm

    Yes, they both share the trait of being devoid of any personal responsibility while deflecting the *blame* for their actions on others. It’s a very typical response from someone that’s socially and morally challenged.


  28. . Says:

    Pugnacious:

    March 13, 2007 –Our White House Press Corps sources report further disturbing news about President George W. Bush. Our sources have witnessed a clearly inebriated Bush approaching members of the press corps and making rude comments, including one particularly crude remark about First Lady Laura Bush. In that case, Bush, nodding toward Laura, called her a “c**t.” While Bush’s drinking is no secret to the White House press contingent, that particular comment was reportedly the worst they have heard uttered by Bush. Our sources also report that Laura Bush’s stays at the White House are less frequent and that her overnight trips to the Mayflower Hotel often coincide with the president’s drunken binges.

    #15 - Sharon

    It means Chimpy is inclined to quarrel or fight readily, and can be belligerent and combative.

    Can you believe it? :D


  30. Jake Says:

    For the record, I don’t think (a) anyone who gets elected (TWICE) President of the United States qualifies as a “natural born failure” by anyone’s standard, (b) obstruction of justice is legal, or (c) that either Gonzales or Bush are guilty of obstruction of justice.


  31. PeterW Says:

    It is already established that *obstruction-of-justice* by a sitting president is an impeachable offense.

    And don’t forget that he ordered the extraordinary act of refusing Justice Department investigators security clearances so as to derail the DoJ’s internal investigations into his own felony violations of FISA law. So there’s more than one obstruction charge looming over this man.


  32. Anonymous Says:

    Let Bush hang on as long as he likes. It will help shake loose more and more Republicans from their slavish obedience to this lame-brained duck. Once disassociated from “loyalty to Bush”, it will be easier for them to vote against him on the Occupation or other matters.

    It’s frankly astounding that the leader of the most powerful nation on earth claims to hear God talking to him, telling him to do stuff (like depose leaders of foreign nations) and the citizens of that most powerful nation seem to be OK with that!

    If I claimed God was speaking to me, telling me to do stuff, they’d send the men with the white coats and the big butterfly nets after me. Why is this behavior acceptable in the man who has access to our “nukular” launch codes???


  37. WaltTheMan Says:

    I have placed the following post on two threads (shades of rachel) and no one has refuted it. Therefore, it has to be true:
    Jake’s career is what made him what he is today.

    He worked as a crash dummy for the NASA Rocket Sled program.

    After each run they would scrape his brains off of the base of the sled into a bucket, turn him upside down, put a funnel into each nostril and pour them back in.

    He still sloshes when he nods or shakes his head.

    Every once in a while, the air relief valve at the back of his head malfunctions and a little grey matter drips out. Of recent, no one notices any difference when that occurs.

    Comment by Jake

    Jake, the preceding is another piece of evidence that it is totally pointless trying to debate with you. The point you appear to be trying to make has been attempted before on several occasions and has been shot down repeatedly. You are either too dumb for words or are incapable of admitting you’re wrong no matter how obvious that is. Adios and good luck. You’ll need every bit that comes your way.


  41. SKdeA Says:

    Besides Jake, can you PROVE bush was elected? Most of America believes he was not.
    You’re such a… Jake! Thanks Spudge for the New Word!


  42. freeman Says:

    Jake
    Bush was elected by a party line vote in the supreme court losing the popular vote and won a second election (?) by .6% on electronic voting machines supplied by a major supporter .
    I honestly doubt he’s ever been elected legitimately.


  43. SKdeA Says:

    Nope, Walt, we can’t refute it! It’s just too believable.


  44. Willy Says:

    Jake,

    I’m just curious. Have you ever thought that perhaps the best way to live one’s life is to try to live ethically and to strive to be on the “side of right” (by that, I mean doing the right thing)? Why do you align yourself with a party (Republican) that obviously lies almost constantly and is full of corruption, dirty tricks, hate and intolerance? I’m not pretending that the Democrats are anywhere near perfect, but I do think that they’re less corrupt and less immoral. I don’t know if you’re religious, but if you are, wouldn’t you want to avoid a political party (Republican) that obviously has reached a new low in morality? Or are you so scared of the big, bad terrorists that any and all immorality is okay?

    I have had contact with four Presidents. Harry Truman merely grabbed me by the shoulder (I was but seven at the time), but there was a feeling of warmth emanating from his grip.

  68. War4Sale Says:

    This is beautiful. Dumbya will resist firing Gonzo as long as he possibly can (and will continue taking political damage each and every day he holds out) and then, in the end he will FLIP-FLOP by throwing Gonzo under the bus.

    So, Bush loses three ways:

    1. He shows himself to be arrogant, in denial, and supportive of Alberto’s corruption by resisting calls for his resignation.

    2. He shows himself to be a flip flopper when, after digging in his heels, he’s forced to fire Gonzo in the end.

    3. In firing Gonzo, he loses one of his closest allies AND acknowledges said ally is too corrupt to remain in his position!

    Bush has maximized the damage of this scandal and could not possibly undermine his credibility more effectively than he has.

    It’s hard, hard work looking this bad!

    Back to the thread topic about someone in DENIAL — I thought the following was perfect about the Giant Transvestite in Pink behind Ms. Plame today:

    She was obviously a plant. It appears she had a friend to her right, who had a portable monitor, which allowed Ms. Bimbo to keep repositioning herself in the open area above Ms. Wilson’s right shoulder. Her demeanor suggested that the “Impeach Bush” on her t-shirt had little to do with her thoughts or motivation for being so conspicuously on camera.

  90. War4Sale Says:

    #81,

    “War4Sale:

    And, if he doesn’t fire Gonzales?”

    That’s the best case scenario of all! If he doesn’t fire Gonzo, he reinforces his image as a crook. Bush condoned Libby’s/Armitage’s/Rove’s/Cheney’s corruption in the Plame leak/cover up and now he’s condoning Gonzo corruption.

    If he refuses to fire Gonzo, he forces his fellow Republicans further away from him (consolidating his lame duck status) and carves in stone his legacy as the incompetent who was even more corrupt than Nixon.


  91. VerbalKint Says:

    Talk about backpedaling. Jake has been reduced to saying that Bush should stay only because Cheney would be worse.

    Don’t worry, Jake, if Bush resigns, Cheney will be impeached within days.

  96. nofltwlt Says:

    This is great!

    Using child psychology to goad Bush into not firing Gonzales is brilliant!

    Each report that Bush is ready to fire Gonzales makes him more committed to keeping Gonzales. By goading Bush into keeping Albert the titmouse, the nation keeps pressure on the administration.

    Who would have thought Bush was so susceptible to child psychology - who knew?

    Brilliant!

    Jake, do you really want to defend behavior like this…

    http://www.mediainfo.com/ eandp/ news/ article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003559541

    Meanwhile, one of the eight recently fired U.S. attorneys told Katie Couric he lost his job because he “did not play ball” with powerful Republicans.

    “I believe, and I think all my colleagues believe, the real reason is partisan politics,” the former U.S. Attorney for the District of New Mexico, David Iglesias told Couric. “I believe I was fired because I did not play ball with two members of the Republican delegation here in New Mexico. I did not give them privileged information that could have been used in the October and November time frame.”

    Carol Lam, who was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California, was described as an “effective manager and respected leader” in February 2005.

    “I got great office reviews,” Iglesias told Couric. “I was not on any kind of resignation list until Nov. 15, 2006, and that was two weeks after I received two very inappropriate calls from two Republican members of Congress.”

    Do you want the US to operate like a Banana Republic, or a Democracy?

    America is in big trouble - and the hole we are in is getting deeper by the week.

    Geez, they’ve been really bad lately, in general. It’s my opinion that ThinkProgress got a lot of attention when ABC was airing that stupid 9/11 movie. This site was totally bombarded with every sick-assed troll alive, and it’s never been the same since. Our comments used to show up immediately, but not since then.

    Organized? I don’t know. I think some of them have their favorite subjects — like Daryll and his obsession with gay sex; or Seixon’s obsession with trying to debunk global warming. Lately we’ve the stupids: michael, mandolin, Patrick, Flaco, etc. They’re just here to disrupt, which they generally succeed in doing.

    Since around the time you showed up (Hmmmmm…), or maybe it’s just the BushCo meltdown, they’ve been in quite the frenzy. It’s getting annoying.

    Hope that helps!

    It was a made for TV movie that was full of inaccuracies and outright lies, that tried to make it look like Clinton was responsible for 9/11. I don’t know if Nicholas Cage was in it, but I don’t think so. TP did a shitload of super-annoying posts on it, and some of the lies were taken out of the movie, I think.

    This blog wasn’t mentioned in the movie, but since they did so much reporting on the movie, it got linked by a lot of other sites, and the trolls swarmed.


  186. Clyde the Ripper Says:

    shane,

    Please indulge this monologue for a few moments. In the early 1950’s I became involved with television from a technical standpoint that became the basis for a thirty year career in electronics. To this day, in my mind, the sole purpose of television is to provide a visual image of whatever sport is in season as an alternative, after reading and more recently , blogging. Television news is a joke–if you are in the latest traffic jam you can’t see the TV and if you are not, who gives a flying “F.” The point is that very few people today have the ability or inclination to think for themselves. I read and comment on TP because there are intelligent people here who do the same. There are also the uninformed and/or ill advised AH’s (Copyrighted) who are dedicated to the disruption of determined dissemination of desirable dictum. To those despicable deuterium we describe a delectable demise.

    Ha! Bush wasn’t elected the first go-around. Even the administration supports this. Ever read his bio at whitehouse.gov? It starts out like this:

    George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States. He was sworn into office on January 20, 2001, re-elected on November 2, 2004, and sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2005.

    Funny that his bio also doesn’t mention his other business dealings. Guess pointing out failure wouldn’t be prudent.

    It’s frankly astounding that the leader of the most powerful nation on earth claims to hear God talking to him, telling him to do stuff (like depose leaders of foreign nations) and the citizens of that most powerful nation seem to be OK with that!

    The wife just finished a college course about the history of Western Civilization. I read some of the textbook; kings thought the same thing. Hmmmm.

    I wish people would start focusing more on Bush than Gonzales.

    According to Murray Waas…

    http://news.nationaljournal.com/articles/0315nj1.htm

    Shortly before Attorney General Alberto Gonzales advised President Bush last year on whether to shut down a Justice Department inquiry regarding the administration’s warrantless domestic eavesdropping program, Gonzales learned that his own conduct would likely be a focus of the investigation, according to government records and interviews.

    Bush personally intervened to sideline the Justice Department probe in April 2006 by taking the unusual step of denying investigators the security clearances necessary for their work.

    This smells and awfull lot like OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE to me.

    If we had a Press and Congress that had even a limp noodle for a backbone, this would certainly blossom into an Impeachment hearing.

    They would have used this in a hot second, against Clinton, if they had the chance. Instead, they had to resort to a desperate, and absurd, “lying about a blowjob” attack.

    Sigh.
