"mismanagement" - that's all it is? Gets to the incompetence meme rather than to the medacity, greed, shredding of constitution, etc.

If only we were dealing with mismanagement.

Instead, DoJ is managing evil.

Corallo is of course one of Rove's foot-soldiers, so read between the lines.

The Torturer needs to understand that loyalty includes a willingness to throw oneself in front of the bus when asked to do so. If that is not clearly understood, he is in need of reeducation.

Corallo is now a spokesperson for Fred Thompson.

"What is the ultimate goal of throwing Gonzales under the bus? Does this somehow help shield the White House or Rove?"

Well, it would if everyone agrees to accept Gonzales' resignation as the end of the investigation (which is how it would undoubtedly be played by the WH).

No resignation before testimony. This doesn't go away just because that lump of dung goes away. The deal has to include Karl, Scott, Monica, and McNulty. These people have subverted America to a degree greater than any communist ever did.

While we supposedly have invaded Iraq to promote democracy these bastards have been promoting a one party government in the USA.

Security code: Green Isn't spring beautiful

Where do the American people fit into this loyalty matrix Mr. Carallo ?

I agree with others -- this smear-meister is interjecting on behalf of Rove.

obsessed (see above in thread) has it exactly right. Corallo served as Rove's spokesperson through Rove's grand jury kabuki dance.

Its in the administration's interest to first focus attention on Gonzales over a protacted period, then have him resign in an attempt to firewall the White House. Had Gonzales resigned a few weeks ago, attention would have focused on the White House without missing a beat.

I have had it up to my eyeballs with this "loyalty to bush" meme. How about some loyalty to the Constitution and the rule of law, for a change?

Once again, Corallo is now Fred Thompson's spokesman. Does that mean that Rover is strategizing for Thompson?

corallo just wants to take the heat away. once abu gonzo is off the teevee screens, they are betting (and with good reason from past experience) that the story will go away.

Closeted?

Isn't Corallo a Rove protege? Is this a kiss on the cheek before the hit?

The security word is appropriately "crush." Take it and apply as desired.

I think it's becoming clear that Bush wants Gonzo to resign, but won't pull the trigger. Instead, he's sending out the message that Gonzo should fall on his sword. Gonzo is an embarrassment to Bush, but it will be a bigger embarrassment to Bush if he has to can him.

FMArouet comments:

"These myriad unfolding scandals could end up being far worse than Watergate for the Republican Party, for the level of Republican criminality and corruption seems to be far more widespread and deeply implanted in the very fiber of government now than during the Watergate era."

The differnce is that in the Watergate era, the mainstream media was involved with reporting the events. The reporting in this cycle is essentially nonexistent.

These are not honest people, and the fish is rotting from the head on down (to paraphrase Dukakis).

If it isn't too obvious, the White House is actually in a pretty tough spot here. They'd like to stall and drag everything out as long as they can to avoid any chance of prosecution, but that just keeps it in the forefront and hurts GOP chances in all of the '08 elections. If they don't stall, the investigations could heat up and there might be some serious prosecutions.

Rest assure if Gonzo gos, that will not end this investigation, at least not as far as Leighy and Waxman
( the pitbull) are concerned.

Why doesn't shrub fire Abu immmediately and then replace him tomorrow with a recess appointment?

That way he doesn't have to bother with that inconvenient congressional approval thing.

More and more of the parasites are jumping off the carcass of the dying host.

A recent poster said: "Look for a major crisis to occur..."

Isn't the bombing in Iran supposed to start tomorrow?

There ya go. The public spokesman. "Alberto! Rid me of this priest. You. In the name of God, protect Me. Go." What an inversion of loyalty and forthrightness. What corruption of the administration of justice. It smells like a dead cat on the porch, writhing with maggots.

What happens if Mr. Gonzales does go? He did precisely what the White House wanted. Who would succeed him? What questions would arise during confirmation? What investigations would continue despite a changing of the guard? And what would any new AG for Bush/Cheney/Rove do or be allowed to do?

If the Judiciary Committees can't get Goodling to testify in a timely manner, maybe they should start talking to some of the U.S. Attorney candidates that she interviewed. Some of the ones who were turned down might have some interesting things to say about the interview process.

Besides your "Posted by", I like you thoughts on talking to the other candidates.

bordersmuggler:

You make a very valid point about the MSM's relative timidity nowadays compared to the Watergate era. It has been the blogosphere which has served as the real catalyst in uncovering the unfolding scandals. Sites such as TPM, Daily Kos, MyDD, Digby, Raising Kaine, Salon, Slate, etc. have been at the forefront. There are bloggers out there who keep track of reality and drill down into far more granular detail and with far more historical context than do the pretty talking heads on national TV or the stenographers in the so-called "newspapers of record."

But some of the MSM outlets are now starting to put their toes in the water. We still have Keith Olbermann and his guests doing their best at MSNBC. NPR still does serious work. Newsweek is doing a little real investigating. Even the rightward-lurching Washington Post under neocon-wannabe Fred Hiatt's editorial direction still has a few remaining serious investigative journalists, such as Dana Priest and Dana Milbank. The New York Times still has Frank Rich and Paul Krugman on its editorial page. We still have The Nation. In the next issue of Time Magazine, even establishment "moderate" Joe Klein will be announcing that he is giving up on Bush 43.

That said, sites like TPM will need to continue to do the fact-digging, cross-checking, and BS-monitoring in the ongoing effort to embarrass the MSM into playing their proper role as a fourth estate that investigates and informs rather than merely panders and propagandizes.

And more and more, the information-hungry cognitive elites--not only in the U.S., but everywhere on the planet--will discover that they can find their information and track their interests more rapidly and in greater depth on the web and in the blogosphere, rather than in wood pulp products or from conventional, commercially-interrupted TV programming. I even spotted that Hillary/1984/Obama riff at Xinhua online! I can imagine how the Chinese, who are adept at using and comprehending political satire, reacted to the fake ad as allegory.

The battle is not yet lost. But the battleground is changing. For everyone.
