Hotline After Dark: A Bad Day For Bushies
The political talk on cable last night focused on ex-DoJ CoS Kyle Sampson's testimony:
CNN's Henry: "The president under siege on two fronts, with the full Senate defying him on Iraq policy while a Senate committee hears explosive testimony in this U.S. attorney flap" ("Situation Room," 3/29).
MSNBC's Shuster: "Even administration supporters said today that testimony by Kyle Sampson was devastating" ("Hardball," 3/29).
PBS' Holman: "Since the controversy broke, Gonzales has maintained that the firings were not politically motivated, but for performance-related reasons. Today, Sampson said there is no real difference between the two interpretations" ("NewsHour," 3/29).
CNN's Bash, on GOPers' reax to Gonzales: "They're simply fed up. They say that, at this point, the attorney general has a very high bar to get over in order to explain himself. They're not pushing him over just yet. But they're certainly not getting out there to support him, not even close" ("AC 360," 3/29).
Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), on Gonzales: "I'm not going to run him out of town on a rail based on newspaper stories or television or radio interviews. I want to see him eyeball to eyeball. I want him under oath and hear what he has to say" ("LKL," CNN, 3/29). [EMILY GOODIN]

Gonzales should not resign. Let Bushies carry the dead-meat on their shoulders for the next 15 months. It will be fun to watch them defend him. If dems are start they should keep Bush's personal lawyer as our AG.

If I had ten dollars for every article or report on the "devastation to Bush" caused by such and such I would be a millionaire. Journalists are inherently lazy and just write the same story over and over. Yawn.
