Bush rejects calls for attorney general resignation Mon Apr 23, 2007 10:03AM EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Monday rejected calls for the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, saying Gonzales' Capitol Hill testimony last week "increased my confidence" in him. Bush said Gonzales' performance before critical U.S. lawmakers showed that the attorney general "broke no laws" in the firings last year of eight U.S. attorneys despite Democratic suspicions they were politically motivated.

More Bush quotes in this Daily Kos thread: Bush Continues to Stand by His Man.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, smirk opens his pie-hole.

Bush made a comment the other day about how "he would not operate his war based on polls". Let's see, isn't a poll a reflection of the desires of the public and isn't our govn. Supposed to be democratic. Hence the wishes of the people. No, no, no, lest I forget we have degraded into nothing better than a banana republic with Bush as our dictator.
It was a narrow escape. If the sheep had been created first, man would have been a plagiarism. -- Mark Twain No group of professionals meets except to conspire against the public at large. -- Mark Twain Lou Dobbs on CNN had a poll the other day. 98% said Gonzales should resign.

Don't forget that BushCo create their own reality. The combative Abu Gonzales proved that Congress has no oversight, at least in the administration's eyes it did.
Bush said something similar about Rumsfeld just before the elections, and 2 days after the election, he sacked him.
Wow. Have to conclude that the Reuters' reporter here was a dumb ass. Anyone on this site would have caught the distinction between something being "illegal" versus being "politically motivated". But not this dumbshit reporter. And of course this only illustrates how low the bar is set in the administration these days. "You've broken no laws? You're hired!" Lack of illegality appears to be enough to justify anything they do.
It is not a Justice System. It is just a system.
Of course, truth be told, one of their hiring requirements is in fact a willingness to break the law. But they'll never admit that.

No, they won't. By the way, why don't you make your tagline a different color from your content? It makes it easier to read. Just a suggestion.

Because I forget how to do colors in HTML.

That's why Bush is reluctant to get rid of Gonzales. Gonzales is doing a job that most Americans won't do - break the law for Bush and Co.

Whoops, that made me look like a dick. I meant to cut and paste the text to you on how to do it, but it went ahead and interpreted what I did... I'll try to describe it to you instead: First, a less than symbol, followed immediately and after no space by font color="the color you want" (space) size=3 and then a greater than symbol, then the text of your message, followed by a less than symbol, divided by slash the word font and a greater than symbol. Why don't you make your tagline a different color than your post content? Just a suggestion.
ROTFLOL! I've destroyed the SKYDRIFTER! I've defeated the BLUEDOGTXN. Now I will wipe out the remaining superfriends and RULE THE FORUM! ROTFLOL! ROTFLOL!
And of course you explained it much better than I did, Robin.

I displayed an example with spaces and instructions to remove the spaces. It's difficult to show-and-tell html on a webpage.

Only because I've explained it a dozen times before and ran into the exact same problem you did the first couple times!

Let me try that.

Well, happy St. Patrick's day belatedly, from a fellow Mick (much diluted by standard American mutt)
