One White House adviser explains that President Bush continues to support Attorney General Alberto Gonzales because a “resignation would embolden the Dems to go after other targets–like Karl Rove. ‘This is about Bush saying, “Screw you,”‘ said the adviser, conceding that a Gonzales resignation might still be inevitable. The trick, said the adviser, would be to find a graceful exit strategy for Bush’s old friend.”
