Party before country
Legacy down the crapper
The Attorney General has earned disastrous reviews for his inconsistent testimony, poor judgment and for appearing to place loyalty to the White House above service to the public. By June it was hard to find a Republican willing to defend him. Now Gonzales' dissembling testimony about a controversial domestic-spying program has raised suspicions about what he is hiding and fueled new calls for him to go...
Here are four reasons why Bush won't do it:
1. Gonzales is all that stands between the White House and special prosecutors. As dicey as things are for Bush right now, his advisers know that they could get much worse. Like the outing of the most corrupt administration in history.
2. A post-Gonzales DOJ would be in the hands of a nonpartisan, tough prosecutor, not a political dongchomper like Bush's BFF Li'l Chili-Bean.
3. If Gonzales goes, the White House fears that other losses will follow. Gonzales remains the last line of defense protecting Rove, Cheney, and other top White House officials. The very same ones who promised to bring honor and integrity back to the White House.
4. Nobody at the White House wants the legal bills and headaches that come with being a target of investigations.

Feh. Bills would be the least of their problems. More here.
