Another Republican senator against Gonzales.»

“Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., who was chairman of the Intelligence Committee during the period Comey described, said Wednesday that Gonzales should consider stepping down. … ‘When you have to spend more time up here on Capitol Hill instead of running the Justice Department, maybe you ought to think about it,’ Roberts told The Associated Press.”

    Wow, the Eraser is calling for Alberto’s head. Pack it in Gonzalez.


  2. Angry One Says:

    Then again, Pat Roberts’ reaction to the NSA spying program?

    “You really don’t have any civil liberties if you’re dead.”


  3. Jay Randal Says:

    Pat Roberts is a super Bushite, so if he wants Gonzales to resign, then Gonzo is toast.


  4. VerbalKint Says:

    Yet, incredibly enough, Gonzo still won’t leave. It is clear that this one is going to be all or nothing for the Bush gang.


  5. Mr. President Says:

    Hey, Roberts!

    You’s a punk*ss b!tch, you know dat.

    Stop da Snitchin’!


  6. Jay Randal Says:

    President > will you roll Sen. Brownback and Sen. Trent Lott under the bus when they call for Gonzales to resign too?


  7. Briseadh na Faire Says:

    Heck with calling for Gonzales to resign. The House should IMPEACH him already.

    Kucinich, if your reading this…..


  8. JT8D-15A Says:

    Up a little late aren’t you Mr P.?


  9. Gregor Samsa Says:

    Gonzales won’t quit because he knows too much. There is no way Pres Bush will let him leave his post as the US’ top attorney.


  10. Jay Randal Says:

    Gregor > If Gonzales resigns, then he might have an accident so he never talks. “Dead men tell no tales” remember.


  11. RUCerious Says:

    It’s not AlbertoVOo5’s fault he has to spend so much time on the hill.
    He’s not paid to remember shit. He’s paid to be the chymp’s lapdoggie. And he’s damn good at it.


  12. Jay Randal Says:

    I wonder if Bush tells Cheney that Gonzo might have to sleep with the fishes soon. America may not survive till January 2009 when Bush is supposed to leave office. What happens if Bush refuses to leave?


  13. the republic of stupidity Says:

    The smart money sez that Gonzo is going down harder than Boris Yeltsin at a Kremlin New Year’s Eve party.


  14. Damian Says:

    Hey Kansas, HELLO!!!

    WTF?

    Your GWB TOOL is grandstanding. You know, the guy who blocked for how many years any investigation into the false ramp-up to the invasion of Iraq.

    Pull your heads out of your comfortable lied-to asses and speak up!


  15. Damian Says:

    By the way, there wasn’t room for dinasours on the Arch. It was full of “negroes” and “homos” from the start. Deal with it.


  16. Deniz Yeter Says:

    I guess when Pat Roberts isn’t busy fabricating evidence he likes to bash his fellow cronies.

    The law and order folks here in my state must be getting mad, so mad that Roberts would passively say something against AG Gonzales.


  17. Perry Logan Says:

    How odd. One traitor asks for the resignation of another traitor.


  18. Shlomo Says:

    Silly progressive peasants! When will you ever learn? There is no such thing as a ‘Republican against Bush’. It’s all for show. The ‘royals’ like to play make-believe to taunt us.


  19. Mikey Says:

    When our leaders waste so much time grilling an obviously incompetent a$$hole, maybe they should just fire him and get it over with already, instead of making a political spectacle out of it. Why wait for him to step down?


  20. Marie Says:

    Roberts is a pillar in support of Bush.
    When that man, who has allowed the crimes of Bush, who has stonewalled investigations, who has delayed and denied reports, when he says Gonzo should go - he is reading the future: AG has to go.


  21. Art Says:

    “maybe you ought to think about it.”
    That would require him to “think”.


  22. Rosencrantz Says:

    Does this mean the media can finally start taking a look at what is really going on and the importance of the hearings?


  23. ccoaler Says:

  24. big papa Says:

    Roberts’ (”employment”) should be terminated too…
