President Bush was pleased with the Attorney General’s testimony today. After hours of testimony in which he answered all of the Senators’ questions and provided thousands of pages of documents, he again showed that nothing improper occurred. He admitted the matter could have been handled much better, and he apologized for the disruption to the lives of the U.S. Attorneys involved, as well as for the lack of clarity in his initial responses. The Attorney General has the full confidence of the President, and he appreciates the work he is doing at the Department of Justice to help keep our citizens safe from terrorists, our children safe from predators, our government safe from corruption, and our streets free from gang violence.
Like Iraq, Bush sees any readjustment of his position as defeat. That is the truly frightening thing about his small mind. Remember how long Harriet Miers dangled in the wind until Cheney insisted that Bush cut the rope. Cheney is long gone, a sick and tired old man, discredited and disengaged. Who will tell the boy king that it is time to cut Abu Gonzo loose?
