This is from “the Decider“:
President Bush gave embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales a strong vote of confidence on Monday despite scant support and scathing criticism from key Republicans.
“This is an honest, honorable man, in whom I have confidence,” Bush said.
The president said that Gonzales’ testimony before skeptical Judiciary Committee senators last week “increased my confidence” in his ability to lead the Justice Department. Separately, a White House spokeswoman said, “He’s staying.”
That should settle that debate. Not the one on Gonzales, but rather Bush. He truly is the dumbest fuck in Washington. Even most Republicans feel that Gonzo bombed. I guess to Bush, great leadership means things going on in your department you don’t approve, or aren’t aware of.
