Specter. For the time being, the President is content to utter expressions of support but I stand by my earlier pronouncement; Mr. Gonzales will be gone before the end of April.

It took me a while, but I've finally figured out why Mr. Bush heaps praise upon obvious incompetents. He likes to be the smartest person in the room. A sure sign that an individual in the Bush Administration confirms our worst fears is to have the President praise them. The more vociferous the praise, the more incompetent the individual. There must be some law

Unethical, unprepared and incompetent are adjectives that are uniquely applicable to beleaguered Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. The two times he has appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee he has either lied, by saying he didn't recall significant events, or worst, demonstrated early signs of the onslaught of Alzheimer's Disease. In either instance, it doesn't bode well for Mr. Gonzales, or the immediate future of the Justice Department that he heads.

Completely in keeping with character, the President who must be a prestidigitator has expressed his continued support for Mr. Gonzales, whom he called, "an honorable man". As the President tells it, Mr. Gonzales broke no laws (if you don't include perjury), because he had the right to fire any US Attorney he chose to. Of course, Mr. Gonzales' right to fire the eight attorneys who were fired has never been in question. What has been brought into question is the cover up. Mr. Gonzales has a knack for making the simplicity difficult. All he ever had to do when questioned was to say he chose to fire the eight attorneys for personal reasons. He didn't have to cast aspersions as a rationale for his actions. The truth of the matter is, the firings were politically motivated. Orders for the firings went all the way up the food chain past Karl Rove to the President himself. Perhaps, the President considers Mr. Gonzales honorable because he has been loyal to a fault and true to his oath of omerta (silence).

Over 70 times during his recent appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Gonzales claimed not to recall significant events. This included meetings with senior management staff and the boss, President Bush. Decisions Mr. Gonzales personally signed off on, he claimed to have vague recollection or little knowledge of. His pathetic performance before the Judiciary Committee was reminiscent of a joke. He's too lazy to work, too dumb to steal and too proud to carry a tin cup and beg. If in fact, Mr. Gonzales were honorable, he would have tendered his resignation. Despite weeks of preparation, Mr. Gonzales was so unprepared; he angered erstwhile supporters like Republican, Sen. Arlen Specter. For the time being, the President is content to utter expressions of support but I stand by my earlier pronouncement; Mr. Gonzales will be gone before the end of April.

A sure sign that an individual in the Bush Administration confirms our worst fears is to have the President praise them. The more vociferous the praise, the more incompetent the individual. There must be some law somewhere that allows us to remove a President for performance, or lack there of, as well as for the quality of their administrations. The American people have been ill served by this administration and this President.
