More on the Gonzo-versy...

The House and Senate are considering votes of no-confidence in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. The House bill has already made it to the floor. Sen. Schumer believes he will have the 60 votes in the Senate needed to end debate.

Some Senate Republicans, though, are challenging it - and some, more directly than others. Mitch McConnell plans on introducing a "mystery resolution" should a NC resolution reach the Senate floor, which would effectively block the NC vote. Arlen Specter believes Gone-zo will resign before a NC vote even happens. Tom Coburn thinks Gonzo should resign, but will not support the NC vote. The White House considers this "nothing more than a meaningless political act" by the Democrats, and says the "eternal general" still has the "full confidence of the President." The President stands by his yes-man; Fredo claims he has said "Mr. President, we can't do this," but can't tell us to what (I suspect he was saying it as W was breaking out the K-Y...). So... uncovering corruption, crimes, and malfeasance is meaningless now; it wasn't so meaningless when we were arguing about Clinton lying about oral sex under oath, however, if I recall correctly...

In other DoJ news:
- Former US Attorney Jim McKay suspects reasons other than the purported "failure to uncover Democratic voter fraud" behind the attorney firings.
- Embroiled-in-scandal Rep. John Doolittle has lost whatever screws he had left that was keeping his head on his shoulders: Democrats in the Bush administration(!?!) have conspired against him!!!
